DInfoCom/0089 - PROVISION OF TECHNICAL ASSURANCE SUPPORT

The requirement is for the provision of the Technical Assurance Support (TAS) as a Service. IAS currently provides hosting and through life application-based Information Services to the Army and wider Defence. It delivers hosting capability across 3 domains and currently supplies a wide range of application services that support a wide range of functions. These contribute directly and indirectly to D Info's missions and tasks as given in Army Command Plan 18. They also support Army HQ, Field Army, Home Command as well as support to TAFMIS and DLMC activities. The platform investment and Agile development approach established by IAS in recent years has been heralded as best practice by Government Digital Services (GDS) and industry alike. IAS is currently unique in Defence as the only organisation to in-house deep specialists that develop and deliver information services at a significantly reduced cost in line with Cabinet Office direction.
