Lessons Contractors will be responsible for collecting, analysing, actioning, implementing and validating lessons from UK Defence operations and exercises, wargaming events, experimentation, and innovation activities. This will be conducted in accordance with relevant Defence Lessons Policies, which will be shared with Lessons Contractors during an initial mobilisation period, and using tools, primarily the Defence Lessons Identified Management System (DLIMS).\nThis Contract Award Notice is for the award of a public contract through an Open Procedure in accordance with the Competitive Tendering Procedures under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA2023). In accordance with Section 7, the requirement falls within the Defence and Security Requirement derogations (e), (f) and (g) for the goods, services or works for military purposes, and services that are otherwise relevant to the operational capability, effectiveness, readiness for action, safety or security of the armed forces. Therefore, the relevant provisions of the PA 2023 relating to Defence and Security contracts are applicable.\nThe Lessons Contract will initially be for two (2) years at a cost of £3,048,269.71 ex VAT. If the two (2) proposed option years are taken (on a 1 year + 1 year basis), subject to affordability and approval, this may take the value to £6,531,793.57 ex VAT. The second option year is subject to indexation in accordance with the formula outlined within the Invitation to Tender (ITT).\nThis will be a Service based Contract, with a security classification of up to and including SECRET. Further security requirements were detailed during the tender process as part of ITT.\nThe Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is High (Reference – RAR 250605A01)\nTUPE provisions were outlined within the ITT.\nA UK1 Pipeline notice was published under Notice Reference 2025/S 000-026958.\nA UK4 Tender notice was published under Notice Reference 2025/S 000-034026.",

    "description": "Integrated Warfare Centre (IWC) is looking to award a contract to a suitable Contractor to provide professional services support in the form of 8 full time personnel working across the UK STRATCOM footprint, within the following Departments; IWC, Analysis and Assurance (A&A) Team, Military Strategic Headq]uarters (MSHQ), Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ), jHUB and the Defence Experimentation and Wargaming Hub (DEWH). Lessons Contractors will be responsible for collecting, analysing, actioning, implementing and validating lessons from UK Defence operations and exercises, wargaming events, experimentation, and innovation activities. This will be conducted in accordance with relevant Defence Lessons Policies, which will be shared with Lessons Contractors during an initial mobilisation period, and using tools, primarily the Defence Lessons Identified Management System (DLIMS).\nThis tender notice is for the award of a public contract through an Open Procedure in accordance with the Competitive Tendering Procedures under the Procurement Act 2023 (PA2023). In accordance with Section 7, the requirement falls within the Defence and Security Requirement derogations (e), (f) and (g) for the goods, services or works for military purposes, and services that are otherwise relevant to the operational capability, effectiveness, readiness for action, safety or security of the armed forces. Therefore, the relevant provisions of the PA 2023 relating to Defence and Security contracts are applicable.\nThe Lessons Contract will initially be for two (2) years at an estimated cost of £4,152,500.00 ex VAT. If the two (2) proposed option years are taken (on a 1 year + 1 year basis), subject to affordability and approval, this may take the value to £8,440,000.00 ex VAT. The second option year is subject to indexation in accordance with the formula outlined within the Invitation to Tender (ITT).\nThis will be a Service based Contract, with a security classification of up to and including SECRET. Further security requirements will be detailed during the tender process as part of ITT.\nThe Cyber Risk Profile for this requirement identified by the Cyber Risk Assessment is High (Reference – RAR 250605A01)\nIt is anticipated that TUPE will apply to this requirement, for which provisions are outlined within the ITT.\nA UK1 Pipeline notice was published under Notice Reference 2025/S 000-026958.",
