Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) procured cloud hosting services for its Monitor Space Hazards requirement, supporting a space-hazard monitoring system. The work falls within industry-specific software packages (CPV 48100000) and computer-related professional services. It is a services contract, delivered from DSIT’s operational base at Polaris House, Swindon, with delivery locations also covering the United Kingdom and wider locations including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named supplier is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, UK Branch.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. DSIT used a selective longlist and shortlist exercise, making a call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), rather than running an open competition. The contract was awarded to Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, UK Branch on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £18,000. The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 14 August 2027. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 23:59. The recorded evaluation basis is the framework call-off route and its associated selection exercise. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into multiple lots.

This award shows that DSIT buys specialist cloud hosting to support space-hazard monitoring, through a government technology framework and a shortlist-based call-off. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible cloud hosting capability, experience supporting software platforms used for specialist scientific or space-related functions, and the operational capacity to provide dependable service across UK and wider international locations. Framework access and the ability to respond effectively to a longlist and shortlist exercise are important route-to-market capabilities. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist cloud or managed-services provider could be competitive if it can demonstrate secure, resilient hosting, relevant technical expertise and the ability to support a public-sector customer with geographically broad delivery needs.
