The Provision of Capturing the Armys Value

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The British Army employs some 75,000 regular service personnel, and approximately 27,000 personnel in the Army Reserve.

The Army spends a budget of approximately £10bn a year.

The Army delivers a wide range of outputs or benefits that are secondary to its primary responsibilities.

Many of these benefits are delivered without additional funding or resource and are not always widely understood.

It is therefore proposed that the Army enlists external support to quantify these benefits where possible or qualitatively demonstrate the value of more intangible benefits.

This work will be used to establish the Army's value for money and the long-term benefits that investing in the Army can provide, beyond the 'hard power' that this investment provides.

While work has been undertaken in the past to quantify the value of some aspects of the Army, it is intended that this approach will consider the entirety of the societal and economic benefit to the UK rather than isolated examples.

Previous work in area will be considered, but not relied upon, to allow a coherent and credible final product.

A draft report, including the required information, must be provided to the British Army by no later than 17 July 2020, with frequent updates from the successful company as this is developed.

Following feedback on the draft, a final, professionally developed and designed report must be delivered by no later than the end of July 2020.

Work will commence in April 2020, with the exact start date agreed in negotiation between the British Army and the successful company.

This contract was awarded to Oxford Economics Ltd as they were able to meet the most technical aspects of the requirement and so won the competition against the other competitors.
