Future Defence Infrastructure Services Programme Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence, intends to award a contract in the value of approximately 208 000 GBP VAT Inc to JCPii Ltd to deliver a robust evaluation of supplier's collaborative and behavioural working capabilities.
The Future Defence Infrastructure Services Programme team are looking to deliver additional value to the MOD within the tender process by employing a collaborative working Subject Matter Expert to support the delivery of a robust evaluation of supplier’s collaborative and behavioural working capabilities.
The appointment of a behavioural assessment SME will support the development of FDIS’s collaborative working evaluation strategy by evaluating the cultural and behavioural suitability of Industry Partners invited to tender.
DIO are looking to contract this work directly to JCPii Ltd and continue the successful deliverance of behavioural assessments undertaken on DIO’s recent strategic construction framework competition on HMNB Clyde. JCPii have a proven track record of successfully delivering the evaluation outcomes which has added value to the MOD’s Framework competition. This approach has enabled MOD to award places on the Clyde strategic framework to suppliers that have been able to demonstrate collaborative behaviours in future working with MOD.
DIO are looking to repeat this success and adopt a similar evaluation approach supported by JCPii Ltd. The Future Defence Infrastructure Services programme competitions will look to enhance and optimise the strategy used by JCPii, recognising that JCPii own the rights to key assessment materials, methodologies and have the experience to demonstrate operational solutions to behavioural business models.
Additionally, DIO have looked to gain the experiences of other government departments and have learned that previous competitions ran by these departments have only found 1 supplier who has the technical capabilities to deliver this requirement.
