4. Description: The PICASSO programme within the specified location develops and sustains the United Kingdom’s (UK) national Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Information Communication Technology (ICT) capabilities which includes access to ally and partner collected imagery and associated geospatial data; provision of platform-agnostic exploitation systems for sovereign GEOINT collection and the production of maps, air charts and other foundation geospatial information. The PICASSO family of capabilities is sustained through a variety of IT Service Management (ITSM) arrangements which are not currently aligned, nor easily scalable. There is opportunity to consolidate ITSM arrangements across the PICASSO programme to provide a more efficient service: that is more responsive to changes in operational need and technical opportunity; that aligns with and enables the use of Defence Digital Operational Service Management (OSM) where appropriate; that is more cost-effective; and that is contractually easier to manage. PICASSO directly enables the production of GEOINT that is critical to Government decision-making and to commanders and military forces’ ability to understand, plan, navigate and target. PICASSO currently consists of c70 systems and services, plus associated in-flight change projects, grouped in major themes as sub-programmes reflecting that, while the projects are connected through GEOINT, each delivers different capability for Defence.
