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

The new framework being 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.

For the first 2 years the Ministry of Defence will manage the Framework, and after the 2nd year anniversary the management of the framework will transition to Crown Commercial Services for the remainder of the term (although for the avoidance of doubt the Ministry of Defence will remain the Contracting Authority entitled to use the Framework).

Quantity or scope: 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 and Technical Architecture, Data, Innovation, Technical Assurance, and, 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
