HVR's experience of the Defence procurement CADMID acquisition model covers all phases. HVR has serviced the MoD and Defence Supply Chain with operational analysis, market surveys, risk management, supply chain management, programme management, bid support, system engineering, ILS, data management, assessment methodology, cost forecasting, safety engineering, trials and technology/military specialists.

The Defence procurement CADMID acquisition model includes a Concept and Assessment Phase to create a business case to achieve Initial and Main Gate respectively. HVR’s financial independence from all equipment suppliers has enabled our Concept and Assessment Phase (CAP) Clients to demonstrate impartiality to DEC, DPA and all potential suppliers for supply chain management and tender assessment.

A key element of a CAP study is performance/cost trade-offs throughout the acquisition cycle – from early concept choices through to disposal. At each stage, there will be a wide range of options that must be evaluated and prioritised. This is a complex process that requires many factors to be considered such as cost and risk as well as performance. HVR’s Rapid Options Analysis is a powerful methodology that enables Balance of Investment decisions to be taken with limited resources and often against short timescales.

Our depth of experience allows us to offer the facility to create the business case in full or to offer support to the Industry team charged with building the case as appropriate.
