## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) as the buying organisation, with the tender titled "AWS Cloud Connectivity". This project falls under the IT services category and is situated in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method was identified as 'Other', and the contract was awarded on 5th April 2017, with a total value of £87,220. The contract period commenced on 25th April 2017 and is set to conclude on 24th April 2018. The tender, which has since been completed, aimed to migrate services to a public cloud platform and required replication of connectivity for agent access and integrated systems.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those skilled in cloud solutions, software development, and consulting. Given the nature of the project, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in implementing cloud services and connectivity solutions would be especially well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. The completion of this contract demonstrates a growing trend in public sector organisations seeking innovative IT solutions, which can create pathways for business growth and collaboration in the technology landscape.

## Notice

UCFS will be migrating the service from the current SCC hosting platform to a public commodity cloud platform (AWS). In order to facilitate this, we need to replicate the connectivity for agent access and integrated (dependant) systems. To achieve this we need to provide a path from the boundary of the UCFS application to the PSN. This service is to be provided by Level 3 as detailed in the awarded contract.
