Section VI: Summary of Requirements / Description of Work
Summary of Requirements / Description of Work: Information technology services. The UK MoD has a requirement for the procurement of support for an existing Geospatial Intelligence System, including processing, exploitation and dissemination of imagery, maps, charts and geographical data. PICASSO Allied System for GEOINT (P-ASG) systems are critical to a range of key MOD operational outputs including: UK processing, exploitation and dissemination of US national technical means and other satellite imagery; production of authoritative maps, charts and digital geographic data for pan-Defence use; and field deployable geographic support. Continuity of contracted support is required to sustain 65 operationally critical systems across all security domains.

Continuity of operations (COOP) must be maintained via the provision of both Authority and Contractor provided Information Technology Service Management (ITSM), which in turn enables the effective delivery of the P-ASG IT Services in support of the primary UK end user, the National Centre for Geospatial Intelligence (NCGI) key business capabilities and outputs.

The new PICASSO ITSM contract will provide the opportunity for both the Authority and Contractor to more closely align with the formal adoption of industry best practice – Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) frameworks, as well as review and deploy their shared resources to perform PICASSO ITSM more effectively.
The term of this contract will be for 3 years, with the possibility of extension through a priced 1 year option.
