Section VI: Summary of Requirements / Description of Work
Summary of Requirements / Description of Work: Supply services of personnel including temporary staff. Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) requires a Commercial Resource Solution (CRS) contract for the provision of a service for (a) resourcing vacancies within the Commercial Function on a temporary basis; and (b) seeking out, identifying and delivering business improvement opportunities that will allow the DE&S Commercial Function operate in a more efficient way. The requirement is expressed as:

Part A – A non-exclusive contract for the provision of a service for commercial personnel/resource.

There is a need for temporary, suitably qualified and experienced personnel across the DE&S Commercial Function at a range of levels. The DE&S Commercial Function is currently operating with a vacancy rate of approximately 200 posts. It is anticipated that this, and any future, gap in personnel/resource will be met through the CRS contract.

Part B – Opportunities for innovation.

There is a need to scope, identify and deliver innovation opportunities; as directed by DE&S or as generated by the CRS contractor. The aim of innovation is to improve procurement processes and to deploy more effective and efficient ways of working and approaches to delivery. The payment/reward structure for this element of the requirement offers the opportunity for a more flexible approach, which may include the CRS contractor being rewarded for the delivery of results through innovation by way of gain share.

The total scope and value of Part B is difficult to quantify prior to Contract award, as it will depend on the ability of the CRS contractor to identify and deliver innovative opportunities, the appetite of the Authority for innovation and the approach of the parties to risk. As such, the estimated Contract notice value is reflective of the Authority?s best estimate at the time of publication.

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 etc. will be paid if a tender or resulting agreement is withdrawn for any reason.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.
