Align the MOD requirement with industry capability and capacity. 2. Develop a route to market that will deliver the best value for money for Defence. Please Note: 1. This RFI is an information gathering exercise only, no further discussions with industry are planned at this stage. 2. This request is not a commitment by the Authority to launch a formal procurement activity and the requirement detailed below is subject to change. 3. The Authority will assess responses to the RFI and may seek further clarification. 4. Participation in the RFI will not be taken as an expression of interest. 5. Participation in the RFI will not be a prerequisite for participation in any future procurement activity. 6. By receiving information under this RFI, the Authority is not obligated to enter a Contract and any future procurement activity will be at the Authority’s discretion. 7. The Authority will not be liable to reimburse any costs incurred by parties who respond to this RFI. 8. The Authority does not intend to offer debriefs following receipt of responses under this RFI. 9. Any future procurement activity will be run through the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP). 10. Information received via Annex A will not be added to any tender responses received from any future procurement processes. Section 2: Brief Overview of Requirement Air Command has an ongoing requirement to ensure that Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) leads their thinking and directs future capability identification and subsequent exploitation. To achieve this, analysis of the current digital landscape and identification of opportunities and current issues is needed. The RCO Air Information Experimentation (AIX) Division is tasked with analysing technology trends, emerging capabilities, and providing information-based understanding through demonstration, experimentation, Data Science, Analytical studies, and technology investigation. To support existing projects and facilitate both information experimentation and the development of digital solutions, the AIX built and developed its own secure and accredited Collaborative Analysis Platform (CAP), Official Sensitive (CAP-A) and Secret (CAP-C) clouds for use as development environments. The upkeep and maintenance of these are paramount to MOD business needs. This upkeep also involves the facilities and amenities currently found at Farnborough Cody Technology Park where the RCO groups are located at.
