Description
1. In order to support the delivery of NSIGN’s objectives, it recognises that Industry can play a major role in helping the Authority bring about necessary change, challenge its current and future thinking and help to bring a more commercial and global approach as to how the Authority contracts its Royal Navy Operational Support. 2. The Authority will be seeking the provision of external Industry expertise across a series of disciplines, experience and original, disruptive thinking. In order to have the freedom, agility and opportunity without constraint to achieve these aims, it is considering setting an NSIGN Client Support Framework, where it can invite demonstrated and capable suppliers to become a member of the Framework. 3. The Naval Support Integrated Global Network (NSIGN) Portfolio will deliver a suite of new contractual arrangements to enable Ship and Submarine engineering support services along with support to enabling Naval Bases. The NSIGN Client Framework is required to support the NSIGN Portfolio and provide a range of support expertise for delivery of specific tasks across the Concept, Assessment, and Transition Phases, which Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S)/Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) cannot effectively deliver without this mechanism. This support will be provided across all organisations delivering NSIGN and potentially other maritime projects, namely DE&S, Navy Command (NC) and (SDA). 4. The NSIGN Client Framework will provide access to solution design and contract for implementation of Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP) with the required expert skills and industrial knowledge to undertake tasks in support of the Portfolio. This includes but is not limited to provision of information relating to Global shipping along with industrial and commercial ship repair industries. These skills are not typically held within the organisations delivering the NSIGN Portfolio, as such the NSIGN Client Framework is required to ensure MoD requirements are achieved and anticipated benefits are delivered. 5. The NSIGN Client Support Framework will have Three discrete Lots. The Lots relating to this PIN cover Two Lots. There will be another Lot to work alongside these and is expected to be procured via the Crown Commercial Services Framework and will cover Strategic Consultancy. 6. The Authority will be looking to set-up the NSIGN Client Support Framework in 3rd quarter of 2023. Additional information: Dates are indicative Lot 2: Deep SQEP i.
