The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence is considering the placement of a contract for the Digital and IT Professional Services (DIPS) Framework, previously referred to as the Flexible Delivery Partner Framework covering all delivery enabling Professional Service requirements for up to four years.

The new framework will be advertised under the Defence and Security Public Contract Regulations 2011 as a Multi-Lot Framework that will utilise several selected suppliers against a wide range of capability and experience.

The MoD will define but not be constrained to the capability areas that will be established across the Lots.

It is anticipated that between 3 - 7 suppliers per Lot may be successful across 6 Lots.

The estimated value of this contract is @ £300M per year, with a 4-year contract duration.

For the first 2 years the Ministry of Defence will manage the Framework, and after the 2nd year anniversary it will transition to Crown Commercial Services for the remainder of the term.

Additional information: The new framework will be a multi-lot framework organised around capability and skills across the full IT Spectrum.

The services will be divided into six lots, as shown below.

Each lot will consist of circa three to seven providers, and a provider can be successful in multiple lots. • Lot 1 - Solution, Enterprise, Technical Architecture, Data & Knowledge Information Management • Lot 2 - Dev, Apps, UX, Dev Ops, Sys Design & App Support • Lot 3 - Cyber Security, Crypto, Sec Ops & Integrated Systems • Lot 4 - Infrastructure Data Centre, Hardware Engineers & Telecoms • Lot 5 - Project, Portfolio & Programme Management (P3M) • Lot 6 - Intelligence Solutions Lot definitions, service requirements and role requirements against each lot are currently being finalised.
