The UK Health Security Agency has concluded the procurement process for a Cloudian Storage platform, covering hardware, software, and support from 2025 to 2030. The procurement falls under the information technology category, specifically focused on the maintenance of IT software and computer equipment. The value of the contract is GBP 387,156.65, with the supply and services to be implemented across three sites in the United Kingdom, particularly in London (postal code E14 4PU). This was a selective procurement conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, transitioning to the award stage with the contract starting on 26th November 2025 and ending on 25th November 2030. The award was made active on the same date, 26th November 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for firms involved in IT infrastructure, storage solutions, and associated support services. Companies that specialise in scalable and secure object storage solutions will find this contract particularly beneficial. The opportunity is ideal for medium-sized enterprises, given that the contract was awarded to Akhter Computers Limited, an SME, indicating the suitability for similarly scaled businesses with robust IT capabilities and the ability to manage complex, long-term projects.
