Tender description

Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) is a bespoke trading entity, an arm’s length body of the Ministry of Defence. It manages a vast range of complex projects supporting all the equipment and services that the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force need to operate effectively. The current risk management tool will shortly become unsupported and DE&S is looking to engage with the market to procure an enterprise risk management tool. This prior information notice (PIN) has been issued to invite potential suppliers to meet with DE&S to help us develop our requirement and identify whether there are COTS products already in existence able to meet that requirement. The COTS solution should have a capability to operate in the secret environment, in compliance with JSP 892 and DE&S processes. Any suppliers who feel their cots product would be capable of delivering a risk management Tool in a large and complex organisation such as DE&S (as briefly described above) are welcome to attend. The market engagement will take the form of one-hour face to face sessions where the supplier will be able to discuss their product and how it can meet the above requirement. Please note product demonstrations are not required and will not be allowed at this time. The sessions will be held at the DE&S Head Office, MoD Abbey Wood, Bristol BS34 8JH on the 3rd and 5.9.2019. Suppliers wishing to attend should register by sending an email to: Ryan.Miller731@mod.gov.uk on or before 30.8.2019. Your email should include: 1) PIN Release Number: CCDT/577, 2. A nominated single point of contact detailing: (a) full name; (b) date of birth; (c) nationality; (d) post title; (e) job role; (f) security vetting details including reference and expiration date (if held); (g) contact details; (h) company name and registered number. A 1-page synopsis including details of configuring your product should be provided with your request to attend. Any potential suppliers not selected to attend the market engagement day will be able to input additional information via an additional submission. A maximum of 2 attendees from any individual company will be invited to attend. Only one registration will be granted per company group (including subsidiaries). Requests for additional attendees from any organisation will be held on a waiting list for consideration. Any queries about the event should be sent by e-mail to Ryan.Miller731@mod.gov.uk
