Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Ealing is planning an open procurement process for ICT infrastructure managed services. This involves essential management of ICT infrastructure, information services, server storage, and cloud tenancy management within Microsoft platforms, alongside optional professional consultancy services. The procurement, currently at the planning stage, anticipates market testing in 2026 with an intended contract award by 2027. Located in London, this initiative falls under the sub-central government public authority category, marked by gross procurement value expectations of £13.35 million. Key engagement milestones include registration on the Atamis e-tendering system, with final clarifications and questions due by September 2025.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities for firms specialising in IT services, consultancy, and infrastructure support. With a substantial budget and a broad scope encompassing various ICT management services, businesses with expertise in server hardware and software management, cloud services, and professional consultancy fields stand to benefit. Companies proficient in system support, cybersecurity, project management, and business analysis would be particularly well-suited to compete, facilitating growth by aligning their innovative solutions with public sector needs in delivering robust and efficient digital infrastructure.
