Summary of the contracting process

HM Land Registry procured data centre hosting services, classified as data storage services, for its operations in Swansea, Wales. The requirement is a hosting contract delivered at or associated with HM Land Registry’s Swansea Enterprise Park location. The service sits within the public sector’s Crown Hosting Data Centre environment and concerns the storage and hosting of HM Land Registry data and systems. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods or construction contract. The named buyer is HM Land Registry, based in Swansea. The selected provider is a specialist data centre hosting organisation, indicating a requirement for managed hosting infrastructure rather than general IT support, software development or standalone equipment supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 8 October 2025 to Crown Hosting Data Centres Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value awarded is £3,160,472.37. The procurement’s stated estimated value range was £3,160,472.37 to £4,700,000. The contract runs from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2030. The tender submission deadline was 14 October 2025 at noon. HM Land Registry evaluated a data centre hosting services requirement, with the contract covering a five-year period. The award is active, and Crown Hosting Data Centres Limited is the sole named supplier. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award provides clear evidence of sustained demand from HM Land Registry for large-scale, managed data centre hosting and storage services. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability in secure hosting infrastructure, resilient data storage, operational service management and the support of government data and systems. Experience of delivering services through a public sector framework, particularly the Crown Hosting environment, would be commercially relevant because this requirement was placed as a framework call-off. A credible competitor would also need the organisational capacity to manage a long-term hosting service for a major government body, maintain continuity and performance, and meet public sector procurement and service obligations. The stated SME and VCSE unsuitability indicates a scale and delivery model aimed at larger specialist providers.
