Cloud Hosting and related Support Services
PDF 12 KBDecision Maker: Executive Director: Delivery, Executive Member for Culture, Delivery and Public Protection
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To award the contract for cloud hosting and
related support services.
Decision:
That the contract for a Cloud Services Provider be awarded to Tenderer C.
Reasons for the decision:
The procurement utilised the G-cloud framework RM1557.11, which is operated by Crown Commercial Services to identify potential suppliers and product offerings. The procurement process identified that only one supplier on the framework offered the service that the Council required to migrate to the Azure cloud environment, and it was therefore recommended to award the contract to Tenderer C.
Alternative options considered:
Refreshing the existing on-premise servers would require a significant capital and revenue investment and would therefore require at least 5 years to get a return in the investment. This expenditure would be additional to the investment already made in the Microsoft 365 applications platform, which is strategically positioned to provide Cloud Hosting capability and allow the Council to replace other business applications going forward.
