Section II: Object Of The Contract
II.1)Description
II.1.1)Title attributed to the contract by the contracting authority/entity: Support Chain Analysis Tool
II.1.2)Short description of the contract or purchase:
Inventory management software development services. The Authority has a requirement for a software tool to improve support across the submarine enterprise. There are two aspects to the requirement.

1. A performance management reporting tool (or “dashboard”) which will amalgamate data from multiple sources to track and display supply chain performance, allowing the identification of areas which require investigation into root causes of supply chain failures.

2. A planning and forecasting application which will enable the Authority to forecast inventory requirements and costs, initially for the support of submarines. The tool should allow dynamic analysis, interrogation and monitoring of submarine support data both historical and forecast relating to actual and planned support activities.

The tool must be intuitive to use and flexible enough to enable ad hoc enquiries and analytics as required to support senior-level decision making.

The requirement is for the supply and ongoing technical support of the tool, including training, maintenance and (if required by the Authority) development of capability. The tool would be required to be accredited for hosting and operation on MoD’s networked IT system (MoDNET) and to draw data from the Authority’s existing systems.

A more detailed specification will be issued to companies selected to participate in the competition.

Subject to additional approvals, there may be a requirement to expand use of the successful product across other areas of the Authority beyond the submarine enterprise.

The successful contractor would be required to hold the following qualifications and accreditations at contract award and for the duration of the contract:
