Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Health Data Research UK procured Google Cloud Platform services for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for cloud hosting and associated computer-related services, including software supporting information systems, networking, internet and intranet operations, document and productivity functions, business transactions, communications, databases, operating systems, utilities, servers and wider computer systems. The main category is IT services, with the scope centred on cloud platform provision rather than a construction, goods supply or general consultancy contract. The buyer is Health Data Research UK, based at Euston Road in London. This opportunity is relevant to providers of hosted cloud infrastructure and related platform services able to support a broad information technology environment for a UK research organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 August 2026 to TELANA Limited. It used a direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework, under the cloud hosting lot, following supplier shortlisting, assessment of available services and review against Health Data Research UK’s requirements. The awarded value is £260,000 excluding any separately stated taxes. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 25 March 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. TELANA Limited was selected because its offering met the buyer’s requirements. There was one awarded supplier and no lot-by-lot split is recorded.

This award shows demand from Health Data Research UK for managed cloud hosting through the G-Cloud route, with a requirement broad enough to cover infrastructure, networking, servers, databases, operating systems and business software. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in Google Cloud Platform or comparable cloud environments, including designing, supplying and supporting secure hosted services rather than simply selling standalone software. Suppliers should be able to map their services clearly to a public-sector buyer’s technical and operational requirements, support assessment against a framework catalogue, and present a coherent service proposition across multiple IT functions. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist cloud provider with relevant delivery experience can be well placed if it can evidence dependable platform support and understand research-sector information needs.
