Notice Information

Notice Title

CDW Ltd

Notice Description

The agile nature of development in DfE dictates that requirements may evolve and change during the project lifecycles. DfE anticipates that hosting requirements could potentially utilise any element, or combination of elements, of the Azure platform services; therefore the full portfolio of Microsoft Azure services will be available via the contract. DfE will have complete and full access direct to the Microsoft Azure Management Portal; will commission and decommission services through the portal as required without interaction with CDW; and will be billed accordingly. Support for commissioned services will be direct via Microsoft via one of the Azure flexible support plans delivered through the Microsoft Premier Support arrangement.
