Notice Title

Further Competition for the Provision of a Data Integration Platform under the CCS Digital Outcomes 6 Framework, Lot 1 Digital Outcomes

Notice Description

This innovation programme involves the University of Southampton committing to the development of a Microsoft Azure data integration platform. This platform is intended to support the categorisation, governance, storage, transfer, presentation, and utilisation of data. The ultimate goal is to transition the University of Southampton towards a more responsive operational model that enhances data literacy and uniformity, fosters collaboration, enables self-service capabilities, and stimulates innovation. It is envisaged that the supplier partner will build the data integration environment within the University's current well architected Azure tenancy and to provide technical capacity to setup a best practice integration platform within our current Azure tenancy and hand this over to our internal teams in a supported structure ready for BAU operational tasks and augment the University's integration engineering and development resources. It is also anticipated that supplier resources will be available for call off as and when required during the contract. The supplier will provide a recommendation of expected delivery resources for each call off task. We expect the partner to mentor and guide the UoS team in the implementation of best practice.
