What is being bought

Published requirement description

we require a team of Suitably Qualified Experienced

Personnel (SQEP) to deliver and validate a cognitive training package focussed on developing decision advantage within the Land, Air, Sea, Cyber, and Space domains that will:

a. Teach better decision-making in Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous

(VUCA) multidomain environments.

b. Enhance decision-making in multidomain environments without relying on the

repetition characterising the military decision-making model and annual exercise

cycle (predictable and forecast scenarios).

c. Enhance metacognition of decision-making and awareness of decision-making

ability amongst our personnel relative to an international database of security

professionals.

d. Achieve better understanding of decision-making as a core military skill

essential to achieving decision advantage in multidomain environments and decisive advantage in response to operational complexity.

  1. This should be achieved through a bespoke education and training package that

balances theory and practice, uses an evidence-based and well-validated approach to decision-making and performance amongst emergency responders and security forces and includes immersive scenarios for each domain (Air, Land, Sea, Cyber and Space) using a methodology that can be delivered at scale once proof of concept has been achieved. Deliverables must be compatible with MOD delivery platforms and software, during delivery and at the conclusion of the contract. All deliverables and associated IPR will become MOD property at the conclusion of the contract.
