The Future Integrated User Services (F-IUS) Programme will compete and award 5 Contracts to deliver the F-IUS services (Mobile Devices and Airtime, Mobile Management, Voice services at Official, Voice and Video at Secret, and Voice and Video at Above Secret), which will be based on the requirements of the users and to realise opportunities to achieve business benefits, namely to:

Ensure continuation of services from IUS to the F-IUS provider(s).

Drive innovation into the programme to take advantage of technological and economic developments within the F-IUS service area.

Proactively manage obsolescence throughout the life of the contract and for the F-IUS provider(s) to support The Authority in managing any inherited obsolescence or in-flight changes.

Integrate F-IUS Service Management tools & processes into MOD Operational Service Management (OSM) function and provide adequate interface(s) with Defence Cyber support & monitor systems Operational Support Systems (OSS).

Provide a Business Support System (BSS) that enables stakeholders’ access to procure, change, track & manage the F-IUS contract & services.

The service bundle for Fixed Voice at Official is anticipated to include all aspects of the service associated with the provision of Official voice services, including but not limited to the provision of the core voice service, as well as gateway services, security services, directory services, professional services, etc. for a five-year period.
