Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham procured an Azure managed service and cybersecurity operations centre. The requirement covers managed services for the council’s Microsoft Azure environment and the operation of a cybersecurity operations centre, supporting cloud management, network software and cyber monitoring activities. It is a services contract delivered in London, including the council’s civic campus at Hammersmith & Fulham Civic Campus, 1 Unity Square, London W6 9JU. The procurement is relevant to cloud managed service providers, Microsoft Azure specialists, cybersecurity operations centre operators and firms providing network software development and associated technical support.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to ANS Group Limited on 5 March 2026. The award value is £707,188. The contract period runs from 21 April 2026 to 20 April 2028. It was run as a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 4 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham is the buyer, and the awarded supplier is ANS Group Limited.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for combined Azure management and cybersecurity operations within London local government. Businesses well placed for comparable future work would need strong Microsoft Azure delivery capability alongside a mature security operations centre able to monitor, investigate and respond to cyber threats. Credible suppliers are likely to combine cloud engineering, network software, security monitoring, incident response and service management, with sufficient operational capacity to support a public-sector environment. Experience delivering integrated managed services, working through framework call-offs and meeting local-authority governance and assurance requirements would strengthen a competing supplier’s position. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist provider or capable consortium may be well placed.
