What the notice says
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.
