Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acquiring cloud hosting services, titled "AWS CO OGVA Hyperscale Cloud Hosting." This initiative falls within the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, internet, and support. The contract, currently in the Award stage, commenced on 1st December 2020 and is set to run until 30th November 2023. This selective procurement process emerged from a framework agreement, with a minimum contract value of £18 million and a total value of £57 million, catering to locations including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

Notice Information

Notice Title

AWS CO OGVA Hyperscale Cloud Hosting

Notice Description

In line with the relevant Government Digital Service (GDS) service design principles, DWP's own strategic principles, and the use of Public Cloud hosting as the first choice, all non-strategic transitional hosting workloads continue to migrate from DWP's On-Premise environments to its strategic Hyperscale Cloud. Cloud consumption is forecast to increase as a result of all of this migration. In August 2019, DWP created a strategic, 2-year GDP G-Cloud10 Hyperscale contract with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to future-proof hosting delivery and take advantage of new preferential commercial terms to improve value for money. The contract is currently not delivering best value for money and DWP looked to find a replacement with improved discounts, which has been developed through Cabinet Office's One Government Value Agreement (OGVA) to which DWP signed up as an Anchor Customer.
