Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero required cloud support for unified IT infrastructure. The service falls within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and may also extend to Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The buying organisation is ICS on behalf of DSIT and DESNZ, based at Whitehall Place in London. This is a public-sector technology support requirement rather than a supply of hardware or construction work. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that appropriately capable smaller technology providers were considered eligible for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Storm ID Ltd on 13 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), following a longlist and shortlist exercise; the response deadline was 10 July 2026 at 17:00. The awarded value is £300,000 excluding VAT. The call-off is established for an initial one-year term from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an optional one-year extension worth up to £150,000 excluding VAT. The maximum value across the initial term and extension is £450,000 excluding VAT. The contract is for services and has been recorded as active following the award.

This award shows established demand from DESNZ and DSIT for cloud support across unified IT infrastructure, delivered through the G Cloud framework route. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would demonstrate practical capability in cloud infrastructure support, IT service management, systems integration and related consulting, software and internet support. Experience of supporting public-sector or similarly complex, distributed environments would help establish credibility, particularly where services may need to operate across the UK and wider locations. Firms should also be able to provide dependable operational support, maintain continuity across an integrated infrastructure and work within framework call-off competitions. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so scale alone was not the defining barrier to participation.
