Tender information last checkedLast checked 29 Sept 2026, 18:50.

Opportunity overview

The Defence Equipment Engineering and Asset Management System (DEEAMS) requirement will deliver the core technical solution for pan-Defence Engineering Through Life Support (ETLS). DEEAMS is the first of 5 Enterprise Wide Support Services (EWSS) which are part of the Business Modernisation for Support (BMfS) transformational programme. DEEAMS will initiate Support Advantage for Engineering by cohering ETLS across Defence by adopting a single solution underpinned by Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) product(s) which delivers the best-in-class commercial sector business processes Out Of The Box (OOTB). DEEAMS will improve Defence Support efficiency and Defence asset availability which includes all major equipment (88 fixed wing, 300+ rotary wing aircraft, 4,000+ land vehicles, 75+ ships) and minor equipment (more than 200,000 equipment types equating to more than 1.6m individual assets). DEEAMS will rationalise the existing MOD IT application landscape not only replacing the existing 3-core Equipment & Asset & Management Systems (JAMES, UMMS, GOLDesp) but also a substantial number (20+) of discrete applications and paper-based systems.

Options

Description
Option 1: 5 year extension of initial 5.5 year duration. Option 2.Whilst DEEAMS is intended to operate as a self-standing solution, the Authority reserves the right to utilise elements of the DEEAMS solution product set and the technology platform in the wider BMfS context when procured as part of the DEEAMS solution. This will be considered to ease the transformation of business process, interfacing, compatibility and integration. Any such additional use would be an optional extension of scope under this DEEAMS procurement. The Authority’s expectation is that, should it exercise such optional extension, it will nonetheless require one or more third party suppliers to deliver the development, configuration, integration and support of each of the impacted wider BMfS solutions, and the selection of such supplier(s) is likely to be subject to separate subsequent procurement exercise(s)
