The procurement pertains to the continued operation of the Azure Cloud for Coventry University Group services, with a legal agreement based on the JISC OCRE framework. The procurement method used was a limited procedure due to the specific nature of the services required, highlighting the necessity of exclusive rights protection, including intellectual property rights.
