Tender description
The Department of Defence has issued this Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market and better understand available solutions, services, software, training, and specialist support capabilities in the areas of cost engineering, systems engineering, operational analysis, economic appraisal, financial analysis, and project management. The information gathered will support the Capability Development Unit in developing a sustainable and integrated capability framework to underpin long term defence planning and investment decisions, including the Capability Development Programme to 2040. Through this market engagement exercise, the Department seeks to understand suppliers’ capabilities, implementation approaches, access to relevant cost data, and ability to deliver independent, robust, and auditable whole-life cost estimates and analytical support that enhance evidence based decision making, programme oversight, risk management, affordability assessment, and value-for-money outcomes across defence capability programmes.

About the buyer
The Department of Defence is an Irish central government department. The Department provides liaison between the military and government. The military holds financial authority for procuring most goods and services. Defence procurement has largely followed EU procurement regulations. Built infrastructure cases from the Defence Forces go to that branch for review. The estate covers approximately 70 sites, including 14 permanently occupied barracks. A masterplan for each installation lets projects be tendered at scale.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Department of Defence's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and construction materials.
