Ministry of Defence D3, Building 405 Corsham Wiltshire SN13 9NR United Kingdom Ref: FOI2018/04529 E-mail: [email protected] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 20 April 2018 Dear xxxxxxxx, Thank you for your email of 28 March 2018 requesting the following information: “Information based on contracts held by ISS would satisfy this request. “A list of all live contracts for Defence ICT(eg MOD ISS) including:- Contract number Contract title Supplier Current contract manager Total contract value Total spend to date Payments in year Last payment date Contract start date Contract end date Competitive / non-competitive SME indicator A list of MOD key suppliers” I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence, and I can confirm that all the information in scope of your request is held. We have broken your request into two sections: 1. A list of all live ISS contracts for Defence ICT (e.g. MOD ISS) including: Contract Number Contract Title Supplier Current contract manager Total contract value Total spend to date Payments in year Last payment date Contract start date Contract end date Competitive / Non-Competitive SME indicator The information you have requested can be found in the enclosed attachment, but some of the information falls entirely within the scope of the absolute exemptions provided for at sections 40 (Personal Data) of the FOIA and has been withheld. Section 40(2) has been applied to some of the information in order to protect personal information as governed by the Data Protection Act 1998. Section 40 is an absolute exemption and there is therefore no requirement to consider the public interest in making a decision to withhold the information. Please see the following key to explaining the Competitive Indicator column in the attachment: 1 The contract was competed 2 It was non-competitive In addition, any contracts let via a Framework are marked as competed. This is because the Framework itself was advertised and competed at the outset and potential suppliers submitted competitive rates/services to join the Framework. The SME indicator key is as follows: Y Yes N No Whether a company is a Small, Medium Enterprise has been determined using records from 2017. The SME status of companies is available via the specific company websites or via the following link for Companies House: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house 2. A list of ISS key suppliers: DXC Technology Airbus Defence and Space Ltd Fujitsu Services Ltd BAE Systems (Defence Systems) British Telecommunications PLC General Dynamics UK Ltd Babcock Communications Ltd Alert Communications Ltd Oracle Corp UK Ltd Atos IT Services UK Ltd This list has been derived from date collected in February 2018 and is based on contract value. If you have any queries regarding the content of this letter, please contact this office in the first instance If you wish to complain about the handling of your request, or the content of this response, you can request an independent internal review by contacting the Information Rights Compliance team, Ground Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail [email protected]). Please note that any request for an internal review should be made within 40 working days of the date of this response. If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may raise your complaint directly to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not normally investigate your case until the MOD internal review process has been completed. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

    Leading Defence Companies Partner for FRES Programme

    Fusion Third Floor 25 Templar Avenue Farnborough, GU14 6FE United Kingdom A Finmeccanica Company Farnborough, 4-09-2007 Leading defence companies partner for FRES programme A group of major defence companies has today announced their teaming arrangement to compete for the System of Systems Integrator (SOSI) role on the UK Ministry of Defence’s Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) vehicle programme. Their combined commitment is reflected in their joint response to the MoD’s recently issued Pre-Qualification Questionnaire for the FRES SOSI Operating through Fusion and led by Finmeccanica, the team – Finmeccanica, MBDA, General Dynamics UK and BAE Systems - will seek to be awarded the FRES SOSI role. If selected, it will provide its wealth of FRES SOSI-related expertise to work in partnership with the UK MoD to ensure effective delivery of the FRES capability. In this role, Fusion would reinforce the MoD in achieving operational coherence with both the British Army’s existing armoured fighting vehicles fleet and other networked defence assets at the time of initial FRES fielding, sustaining coherence through life. The four companies would apply their proven UK based competence from complex programmes to achieve rapid insertion of effective technology from the MoD’s supply base to ensure battle winning capability for our armed forces deployed in operations. “Each team member contributes to the balance of skills required for a strong systems integrator role on this major program and Fusion will be demonstrably independent of individual suppliers” says Sir Kevin Tebbit, Chairman of Finmeccanica UK. “Our strategic objective is to bring this expertise to bear, in full partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence and the potential supply chain, to ensure a through- life response to the requirement which is low risk, provides value for money and is compliant with the Defence Industrial Strategy.” About Fusion Led by Finmeccanica, Fusion offers the best in integration skills, programme management expertise and knowledge of synthetic environments needed for the FRES programme.

    Leonardo DRS Has Been Involved in the UK Bowman

    DRAWING LESSONS FROM YEARS OF EXPERTISE TO SUPPORT THE EVOLUTION OF MILITARY COMPUTING By Peter Hurst, Vice President, International Projects & Business Strategy at Leonardo DRS, Land Electronics eonardo DRS has been involved in the UK Bowman to be awarded the 5.6 contract continuing the highly project since the project’s inception, having competed successful partnership developed with both GD–UK and Lfor and won a substantial contract for the vehicle- the British Army. based tactical workstations in 2002. Key to the success of the program was the high degree of commonality between On this occasion, we were able to exploit the US Army the three different workstation variants: VUDT (Vehicle MFoCS contract that we had originally won in 2013 User Data Terminal): BMDT (Bowman Management Data and again in 2018 in the form of MFoCS II. US Army Terminal), and PBPU (PBISA Processing Unit), leading to MFoCS effectively replaced FBCB2 so this was a natural economies of scale and making software and through- progression and once more allowed Leonardo DRS to life support economic and effective. This initial modular align the primary US and UK brigade and below C4 and upgradable approach has proved to have long-term projects by providing a solution which had a high degree benefits to not only Leonardo DRS but also to the UK of commonality across both programs. It also ensured Ministry of Defence (MoD). that Leonardo DRS continued to deliver the benefits of ongoing technology insertion, underlying capability We here at Leonardo DRS provided more than 14,000 development and enhancement to both projects based tactical user data terminals to General Dynamics UK (GD on a significant degree of commonality in terms of the UK) for the initial Bowman implementation.
