Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Essex County Council, which is looking to secure a solution known as "Terraform", aimed at providing infrastructure in remote environments optimised for the Terraform workflow. Classified under the Information Technology Services industry, this selective procurement, carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement, focuses on services in the East of England. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with key dates marking the award on 22 May 2025 and the contract set to commence on 1 August 2025, concluding on 31 July 2028. This reflects a completed tender with an award value amounting to £46,889.84.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the IT services sector, specifically those experienced with cloud solutions and infrastructure provisioning. Due to the selective nature of the procurement, large enterprises such as Computacenter (UK) Limited, the appointed supplier, would be well-positioned to compete for such contracts. However, smaller businesses may need to explore opportunities in other areas unless they align with the requirements set out in the existing framework agreements. The strategic location in the East of England is conducive to businesses seeking to expand their offerings in this region.
