What is being bought

Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) and the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA), part of the Ministry of Defence (MOD), wishes to appoint a Project Delivery Partner (PDP) to assist in the delivery of a wide range of DE&S/SDA Project Delivery, and Operational Delivery related products, services, and output based tasks. The PDP will have the core corporate capability to provide temporary, Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP) to meet DE&S/SDA and wider MOD resource shortfalls across a range of DE&S/SDA role profiles. In addition, the PDP will be able to readily access a range of specialist personnel and services including but not limited to the following: Project-delivery services other than for construction work: Project and design preparation, Estimation of costs, Calculation of costs, Monitoring of costs. Supply services of personnel including temporary staff. Portfolio management services. Strategic resource management analysis and expertise, Asset management solutions, Operational/logistics management, Quality Assurance and forensic schedule analysis, Provision of advice and development of Operational logistic Support Solutions, Development and maintenance of Service Delivery Plans, and, capability development such as technical coaching and mentoring (i.e. transformational upskilling, including the development to attain, and assessment of, a required competency and/or ‘licence to practice’. Cyber Risk Profile is MODERATE. RAR-912198883 Quantity or scope: DE&S/SDA and the wider MOD requires a PDP to assist in the delivery of DE&S/SDA Project Delivery, and Operational Delivery and the temporary resourcing within the DE&S/SDA Project Delivery, and Operational Delivery functions. The PDP must be able to demonstrate core corporate capabilities in the two functional areas as detailed above and DE&S/SDA are seeking innovative ways of delivering the service. The PDP will be required to be agile and flexible to the requests of DE&S/SDA and the Wider MOD and work closely with the functions to integrate and continuously improve the way services are delivered in order to achieve a number of benefits including but not limited to: — reduced cost, — enhanced quality, — standardisation in the demand and delivery of outputs. Key requirements such as Partnering, Innovation, agility, joint problem solving & troubleshooting, knowledge transfer & training and an embedded self-supporting team are key facets required within the future framework DE&S' PDP requirement is set out in two main elements: Part A - PDP Support: — delivery of a defined products (outputs). — resources (team or individual) for a specific assignment (inputs). Part B - PDP Core Delivery Team. — provision of key personnel, continuous service delivery improvement, and a self - support system to ensure PDP operates and is managed effectively. DE&S/SDA are keen to engage with suppliers from across the industry. This acquisition is expressly not limited to those with a defence sector experience as experience and knowledge in other market sectors may well have value to offer DE&S/SDA. It is envisaged that the majority of people to be provided will be deployed in Bristol, but with some deployment at other MOD locations across the United Kingdom, though we do adopt a hybrid working mechanism. DE&S/SDA is an equal opportunities employer and is seeking a diverse and inclusive workforce. It is likely that some personnel will retain rights under the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended, most recently in 2014). Therefore it is important to note that experience in the management of transfers is likely to be required. Further information on this will be provided at ITN stage. No business whatsoever is guaranteed under any resulting contract indeed there is no guarantee that any contract will be put in place in relation to this notice. No compensation will be paid if a tender or resulting agreement is withdrawn for any reason. Bidders should take part in this process only on the basis that they fully understand and accept this position. The Authority reserves the right to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice in accordance with Regulation 16(1)(d)(ii) of the DSPCR.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Placement services of personnel (79610000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7414 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,741 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,509 of 13,741 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

DE&S/SDA is an equal opportunities employer and is seeking a diverse and inclusive workforce. It is likely that some personnel will retain rights under the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (as amended, most recently in 2014). Therefore it is important to note that  experience in the management of transfers is likely to be required.   Further information on this will be provided at ITN stage.  \nNo business whatsoever is guaranteed under any resulting contract indeed there is no guarantee that any contract will be put in place in relation to this notice.
