Why this procedure was chosen
Repetition of Works or Services - for new works or services that repeat similar works or services performed by original supplier; The case for the use of iDEA to complete the Estate Lens is based on their knowledge of 1) the existing Estate Lens construction linked to the wider MOD estate, 2) EMP Structures 3) Space Management), 4) MOD Building Performance Standards) the 5) availability of a consistent iDEA team. 6) The current supplier (iDEA) is providing critical infrastructure modelling to inform future Defence Reviews. 7) iDEA have built up a significant background knowledge and experience in programming infrastructure space management.8) iDEA has recently provided support to the DIO SDR delivery and DIO ISA Hd via development of the Estate lens. This is viewed as an ongoing requirement in the development of the Estate Lens model, its outputs and capability development. The implications / challenges of switching to a new supplier at this time would include the risks of having to educate the new Suppliers of the previous four years of Estate Lens development / process and delivery, and establishing a new trust / working relationships between DIO Estate Lens Subject Matter Experts and the TLB Infrastructure leads. A further risk would be trying to onboard a new Supplier just as a critical development of the Estate Lens being linked to both the DIO Cloud and EMP Application are about to be delivered. Based on professional judgement the DIO project team estimate a period of at least four months to onboard a new Supplier to carry forward the previous four years of developmen
