The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS2) will provide a common, interoperable, accessible and deployable software enabler(s) for simulation-based activity across Defence.

Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS2) will provide a low fidelity , common virtual simulation tool(s) that exploits Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) games-based technology.

It is intended for use as widely as possible, underpinning the interoperability of training systems and enabling its use for applications including decision support; research and development; training; and operations planning and rehearsal, that is free at the point of use.

DVS2 is a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software provided over a period of up to 10 years (made up of 5 years managed service contract + 3 x 1 years options which the Authority reserves the right to take as a combination, or as 1 year increments, resulting in perpetual unsupported licences for final 2 years).

The solution is interoperable with extant and future simulations, both nationally and internationally, through the use of open standards and import and export content in open standards (DMaSC & CIGI compliant).

The solution is licensed at an appropriate level providing enterprise, unrestricted use and distribution by the MoD, thereby enabling widespread use and development opportunities.

Free to start. Named contacts come from published notices; the strategy is generated from the buyer’s news, accounts and people.
