This tender is part of the Crown Commercial Services governed by the G-Cloud 13 Framework Agreement. The procurement method utilised was limited, involving negotiation without the publication of a contract notice. The contract, valued at £9,000,000, was awarded to Cloud Technology Solutions Ltd, now Qodea Limited.
