## Summary

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is currently seeking a delivery partner for its project titled "NOC AD & O365 Migration", which involves crucial IT infrastructure adjustments following its transition to an independent organisation. The procurement, classified under Software implementation services with a total budget of £160,000, is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 27th August 2021. The service will be carried out in the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the contract period runs from 30th September 2021 to 31st December 2021, with the procurement method specified as an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in Active Directory (AD) migration and Office 365 management. Companies that can demonstrate a robust capacity to complete complex IT projects on time would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The scope highlights the need for innovative solutions to migrate from the National Environmental Research Council's O365 cloud tenancy to an independent NOC-managed system, making it an ideal opportunity for IT consultancies and software implementation service providers looking to expand their client base.

## Notice

During 2019 NOC transitioned from being a Public sector organisation to an Independent company limited by guarantee. As part of this transition, NOC has a requirement to separate, split or otherwise remediate elements of its IT Infrastructure and is seeking a delivery partner to delivery two key elements of this requirement. Firstly, NOC's on-going AD migration project, originally contracted for in 2019 with delivery commencing in Q2 2020. Progress on the project has since stalled prior to the migration phase and following this extended period of downtime NOC is now looking for alternative providers to complete the remaining scope of work as detailed in our requirements below.In addition to this, NOC requires migration away from the National Environmental Research Councils O365 cloud tenancy to an independent, NOC managed equivalent.
