Software package and information systems

Tender description

To supply off-the-shelf software products and vendor support to meet one or more of the Defence Learning Management Capability (DLMC) Functional Requirements listed in the Schedule of Requirements. The Defence Learning Management Capability (DLMC) Programme requires the ability to analyse, design, deliver, assure, administer and manage Training & Education (T&E) using a modern, sustainable suite of information services for the Armed Forces. This procurement will support the DLMC Alpha Assessment by supplying licences for the use of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) products with appropriate technical support, to include additional options to run a Beta phase and Live phase. The licences and technical support delivered by these contracts will enable the Authority to assess the ability of the software products to work together to meet the overarching DLMC requirement and (if appropriate) introduce them into live services. Potential suppliers should note that the contract value specified in section II.1.5. of this advert is the total estimated sum of all the individual contracts expected to be placed under this contract notice in order to deliver the range of DLMC Functional Requirements, including the take up of the options. The Authority may award a single contract or multiple contracts to meet the range of DLMC Functional Requirements, therefore potential suppliers may bid for one or more Functional Requirements, as they see fit. Supplier(s) providing technical support will be required to hold security clearance under the Government vetting scheme to a minimum of security clearance (SC).
