SM4P - Service Management For PICASSO

Description

Service Management for PICASSO is an IT service management contract that will evolve the current live service offering. The PICASSO programme within the MOD develops and sustains the United Kingdom’s (UK) national Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) Information Communication Technologies (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 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 is more cost-effective; and - That is contractually easier to manage.
