What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Digital and IT Professional Services (DIPS) Framework was 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.

A four (4) year Framework built in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Crown Commercial Services (CCS). CCS will own the Framework, but MOD will manage the Framework (although for the avoidance of doubt the Ministry of Defence will remain the Contracting Authority entitled to use the Framework).

The framework is established across Six (6) 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

CPV: Computer-related professional services · Defence services, military defence services and civil defence services

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
Quality: 55%Price: 45%
Published sub-criteria (2)
  • Non Cost Score (Quality): 55%
  • Cost Score: 45%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 55 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “Digital and IT Professional Services (DIPS) Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
