Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has completed a procurement process for the provision of cloud-based services, focusing on IT infrastructure requirements within the West Midlands region, specifically in Birmingham (postal code B19 3SD). This procurement has concluded at the award stage, with the award being issued on 29th May 2026 to Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, UK Branch. The procurement, classified under CPV code 72000000 for IT services, entailed a selective procurement method executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £376,030, commenced on 1st June 2026 and will run until 31st May 2029, expected to provide cloud hosting, software, and support services forming a secure and scalable solution.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies involved in IT services, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive cloud-based solutions. Businesses that can provide integrated services for cloud hosting, software development, and support will find potential growth through projects like this due to the need for ongoing support and system enhancements. Although the contract completion favoured a large-scale provider, SMEs with niche cloud service capabilities or those looking to partner within established frameworks might also explore future similar tenders for collaboration opportunities with authorities like the WMCA.
