Summary of the contracting process

The Government Digital Service is seeking to procure IT services, specifically focused on connected Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for compute and storage, through a selective procurement process. This tender, titled "PSN connected IaaS Compute and Storage", involves a contract valued at £415,290, currently in the award stage. The procurement process concluded its tender period on 13 September 2019, with the contract effective from 1 October 2019 until 30 September 2021, based in London, United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in consulting, software development, and internet support.
