Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has completed the award of a contract for Google Cloud Platform Services, focusing on IT services such as consulting, software development, internet and support, under the CPV code 72000000. This procurement process, classified in the services category, was conducted using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, falling outside the usual directive scope. The contract, valued at £10,680,000, was signed on 29th May 2025 and involves several lots, including cloud hosting, cloud software, and cloud support, all to be delivered within the UK.

This contract represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in cloud-based solutions, software development, and support services. Given the scale and requirements of the ONS, large enterprises such as Qodea Technology Limited, who have successfully been awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete. The tender facilitates growth by allowing for service extensions, highlighting the potential for additional contract value increases up to 50% for Lot 2. Businesses aiming to grow in the public sector IT space should look for similar tenders to capitalise on the demand for advanced technology solutions.
