Customer Brief Outline
Programme Failure Modes / Risks
Integration: Programme could underweight cross-platform integration complexity and create late delivery drag. | Customer message: Integration realism should be scored explicitly, not assumed.
Commercial: Commercial approach may reward route access over controllable delivery ownership. | Customer message: Commercial structure should reinforce delivery outcomes, not just contract convenience.
Security: Security and assurance responsibilities may be fragmented across suppliers. | Customer message: Assurance should be scored as delivery confidence, not treated as post-award cleanup.
User Adoption: User workflow fit could be underweighted relative to headline technical claims. | Customer message: Operational utility should be visible in award criteria, not assumed after deployment.
Recommended Evaluation Criteria
Integration and Interoperability (30.0%): Named interfaces, transition logic, and realistic legacy integration ownership.
Delivery Confidence (20.0%): Named owners, credible assurance model, phased rollout logic, and risk controls.
Technical Approach (20.0%): Define scoring logic.
Security and Assurance (15.0%): Named assurance owners, security controls, and evidence path.
Commercial Value (5.0%): Transparent commercial model and clear whole-life value.
SI Incentivisation and Commercial Model
Integration Success: Reward suppliers for hitting agreed integration milestones across legacy platforms and new services. | Desired behaviour: Solve integration risk early and visibly.
Open Architecture / Reuse: Incentivise reusable interfaces and lower future change cost. | Desired behaviour: Avoid proprietary lock-in and hidden integration drag.
User Adoption: Link value to user uptake and operational utility. | Desired behaviour: Deliver something crews will actually use well.
