Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council procured specialist cloud support and strategic advisory services for the next phase of its technology transformation programme. The requirement covers a cloud readiness assessment and ICT harmonisation, helping the council assess its cloud position and align its information and communications technology environment. The work is classified primarily as compliance software services (CPV 48170000), with gateway software services also included (CPV 48219100). It is a public services requirement delivered for Cumberland Council in England, with the council based in Carlisle. The procurement was a call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework, Lot 3, focused on cloud-related technology support and advisory work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cumberland Council used an open procedure to call off from the G Cloud 14 framework, Lot 3. The submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Vodaphone Ltd on 1 August 2026. The awarded value is £304,228.70. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 5 August 2027. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The award covers the cloud readiness assessment and ICT harmonisation services described for the council’s technology transformation programme.

This opportunity indicates demand from Cumberland Council for suppliers able to combine cloud readiness assessment with strategic technology advice and ICT harmonisation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in assessing an organisation’s cloud preparedness, defining a coherent technology direction and aligning disparate ICT services, systems or infrastructure. Experience supporting public-sector technology transformation would strengthen its position, particularly where advice must translate into an achievable next phase of change. The requirement also shows that the council used the G Cloud framework route, so suppliers targeting similar work should understand that framework and its relevant cloud-support category. The successful supplier was a large organisation, while the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
