## Summary

The National Archives Public Record Office is facilitating a selective procurement process for the "Cloud Consultancy" tender, aimed at assisting the organisation in evaluating options for migrating its existing applications to the cloud. The procurement falls under the IT services sector, particularly focusing on consultancy and software development. The deadline for submissions was set for 24 June 2016, and the contract period commenced on 15 August 2016 and concluded on 15 November 2016. The total contract value is £40,000, and the location for delivery is based in Richmond, London.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in IT services and cloud solutions, particularly those that work with public sector organisations. Businesses that possess expertise in cloud readiness assessments, cost-benefit analyses, and risk evaluations related to cloud migration would be well-positioned to compete. The engagement allows for collaboration with a prestigious entity such as the National Archives, which could lead to further contracts and enhanced visibility in the public procurement arena.

We would expect this discovery phase consultancy engagement to deliver - at a minimum - the following outcomes: * An understanding as to the cloud readiness of our existing applications * An understanding as to the options for moving our existing applications to the cloud (platforms, operating models etc.) * An understanding as to the likely costs, benefits, risks and delivery effort associated with each option
