Summary of the contracting process

Tamworth Borough Council procured consultancy services to support the migration of Microsoft Azure to the cloud. The requirement sits within software, information systems and related technology services, with the practical focus on Azure adoption and cloud migration advice. Work is for the council and is delivered in Tamworth, England. The council is the public-sector buyer, while the selected provider is Phoenix Software Ltd. This is a technology consultancy requirement rather than a supply of software licences or physical infrastructure. It is relevant to businesses providing Microsoft Azure migration, cloud adoption, IT consultancy, systems integration or related public-sector technology services.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from the Procurement Services Framework ICT Managed Services & Consultancy Y23038; it was not a call for competition. The tender period ended on 1 September 2026, and the award was made on 5 September 2026. Phoenix Software Ltd received the contract, valued at £41,300. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The recorded procurement category is services, and the requirement is classified under CPV 48000000 for software packages and information systems. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award is active.

For technology consultancies, this award provides a clear example of Tamworth Borough Council’s demand for focused Microsoft Azure adoption and cloud migration support. A credible future supplier would need practical Azure migration expertise, the ability to advise a public-sector organisation on moving services to the cloud, and sufficient consultancy capacity to deliver a defined engagement. Experience with software and information-systems environments would be relevant, as would familiarity with public-sector delivery and the governance expected by a council. The procurement route also shows that relevant suppliers may need access to, or experience of working through, an ICT managed services and consultancy framework. Smaller specialist firms can be credible competitors for this type of requirement.
