## Summary

The University of East London (UEL) is seeking to enhance its IT services through a tender titled "Cloud Services," aimed at transitioning from on-premise data centres to a cloud-based infrastructure. This project falls under the IT services industry category and is scheduled to commence on 8 April 2020, concluding on 30 September 2020. The tender's period closed on 27 January 2020, with an awarded contract valued at £189,167. The procurement method utilised for this tender was an open procedure, designed to invite a wide range of suppliers to participate.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud services, IT consultancy, and software development. Companies capable of providing scalable solutions and those experienced in transitioning enterprises to cloud environments would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar projects. As UEL aims to streamline its IT processes and reduce reliance on existing infrastructure, this initiative offers a promising avenue for growth in the rapidly expanding cloud services market.

## Notice

UEL are looking to reduce dependency on the current on-premise data centers and infrastructure and are looking to transform IT and accelerate the migration of workloads to public 'Cloud'. Transition to the cloud will only be done if it is the right fit for UEL. This criteria is a complex balance between cost and the UEL ITS Service's SLAs. High level objectives of the project The high-level objectives of the Cloud Implementation project are as follows: (a) reduce the number of applications that are being used to support the UEL IT Services that are currently on-premise; (b) transition applications, where possible, to a SaaS service for each of the applications supporting the services; (c) assess if 'Cloud' or 'On-Premise' is the destination of choice for the application services; (d) build cloud landing zones and target operating model to support services transitioned to the cloud; (e) re-architect applications and transition application to cloud as required. 2) project phases At this stage the project is split into 2 distinct phases which at a high level are: Phase 1 - assess the current estate of application services and recommend what to do with the applications, - design and build cloud infrastructure both people processes and technology, - complete a migration proof of concept with a shortlist of service applications into operational support in new cloud infrastructure is fit for purpose. Phase 2 - This is dependent on the work of Phase 1 and would give rise to the following: - complete application service migrations and transition services into operations transition into the new hybrid Infrastructure, - decommission on-premise Hardware, - potentially Install new on-premise hardware, - migrate remaining services to new hybrid Infrastructure, - cloud Support model that will potentially require the partner to be able to support UEL ITS with the new hybrid Infrastructure.
