Tender description

DE&S is looking to deliver a scalable supply chain mapping solution with a repeatable process that it can apply to programmes and projects across MOD initially with focus on mapping information security supply chain risks. However, in addition DE&S also wishes to understand risks arising from other types of supply chain risks such as strategic, operational, financial, compliance, environmental and reputational. It is envisaged that the requirement will be met via a multi supplier framework agreement which enables MOD to approach a number of compliant suppliers to analyse the supply chain from a specific or multiple perspectives As the framework suppliers will have been assessed as being capable and compliant via a competitive tender process the time-scales for these call-off competitions are greatly reduced and typically call-off contracts are placed in 1-2 weeks from receipt of demand. Specifically, DE&S is seeking to answer the following questions through this request for Information: 1) Experience of supply chain analysis/mapping in terms of depth and width; 2) Approach, methodology, repeatable processes and outputs of supply chain mapping, including information security; 3) Scoping the supply chain mapping task and information interested parties would require in order to assess a supply chain mapping demand; 4) Types of supply chain risks that can/should be assessed and market capability/capacity; 5) The tooling available to exploit existing data or repeatable processes to support MOD supply chain mapping; 6) Rough order of magnitude costs for the proposed solution and expected benefits; 7) Any other relevant information the interested party would like to include. Please send all responses to Idnan.Sadique100@mod.gov.uk by 17.00 on 14.10.2019.
