Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office bought cloud support through a variation to an existing call-off contract under the G-Cloud framework. The change followed a material change in need caused by delayed timelines. The work is categorised as IT services and is associated with the buyer’s address in London. The procurement concerns cloud support rather than a new, separately described service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aristi Limited. The original award was made on 20 February 2025, valued at £79,380, for a contract period from 17 March 2025 to 30 June 2027. A further award for the variation was made on 29 September 2026, valued at £147,419.50, covering 6 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The procurement used a direct, single-tender action below threshold through the existing G-Cloud call-off. The variation was attributed to the changed need and delayed timelines. No lots are described.

For suppliers of cloud support, this award shows that the Serious Fraud Office has used a G-Cloud call-off and a direct single-tender route for a requirement connected with changing needs and delayed delivery timelines. The selected supplier, Aristi Limited, is identified as an SME, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate that it can provide cloud support and respond to changing delivery plans. The procurement provides evidence of this buyer’s demand for cloud support, but does not describe specific technical capabilities, accreditations or staffing requirements.
