## Summary

The Castles and Coasts Housing Association is seeking consultancy services for the transition of on-premise applications to Azure and Microsoft 365. This procurement falls under the IT services category and is currently in the Tender stage. The tender, designated as BIP352554817, was published on 20th October 2018, with a submission deadline of 21st November 2018. The contract period is expected to commence on 3rd January 2019 and conclude by 1st April 2019, with services required to be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT consultancy, software development, and cloud transition services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as their agility and innovative approaches can align well with the requirements outlined by the Castles and Coasts Housing Association. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in Microsoft's cloud services and best practices for IT consultancy are well-suited to compete for this contract and potentially grow their business through collaboration with a housing association focused on modernisation and efficient service delivery.

## Notice

This specification of requirements seeks to identify an organisation who can work with CCHA's internal IT Team to design, plan and transition all the on-premise applications over to Azure ensuring Microsoft's Best Practice designs are applied. The design of the replacement solution must fully maximise the value of Cloud services by redesigning the current implementations to fully exploit the value of Microsoft's IaaS, Platform as a Service (PaaS) and SaaS offerings.
