UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofcom procured specialist IT consultancy for an upgrade to its Cloudsense platform. The requirement covered reviewing existing customisation, validating the current upgrade plan, sequencing the upgrades and providing expert advice throughout the work. This is a software and technology consultancy service, involving platform upgrade planning, technical review and implementation guidance rather than general IT support or software supply. The work was commissioned by Ofcom, a UK public authority based in London, and concerns its own Cloudsense environment. Suppliers suited to this requirement would need practical experience of Cloudsense upgrades, the ability to assess custom configurations and the expertise to advise on upgrade sequencing and associated technical risks.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Ofcom used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Skyvera, LLC was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026, runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 November 2026, and has a gross value of £58,925. The underlying requirement was for 20 days of consultancy. The award covers IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. This was a below-threshold procurement and the contract is recorded as active. The outcome indicates that Ofcom met this requirement through a non-competitive route rather than an open tender or competitive quotation exercise.

This procurement shows demand from Ofcom for focused, specialist consultancy around the Cloudsense platform, with the buyer requiring more than generic project management or routine helpdesk support. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable Cloudsense upgrade expertise, including reviewing customisation, checking and validating an existing upgrade plan, planning the order of technical changes and advising on implementation risks. The work suits an established technology consultancy able to provide senior specialists who can quickly understand an existing platform configuration and give authoritative technical guidance. Relevant experience of complex platform upgrades, strong analytical skills and the capacity to deliver concentrated consultancy input would strengthen a competitor’s position when this type of requirement returns.
