## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council procured replacement data centre hosting and connectivity services. The requirement is an information technology service covering the provision of a replacement data centre environment and the associated connectivity needed to support the council’s operations. Delivery is in the East of England. The buying organisation is Hertfordshire County Council, based in Hertford. The procurement falls within the public-sector IT services category and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is responsible for providing the hosting and connectivity service rather than supplying a standalone product, so relevant businesses should be able to deliver managed data centre infrastructure and dependable network connections as an integrated service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 22 June 2026 to Crown Hosting Data Centres Limited. It was run as a selective call-off from the Crown Hosting II / 10002651 Framework. The awarded value is £1,034,190.70. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The award covers the full replacement data centre hosting and connectivity requirement for the council. The recorded procurement category is services, with the technical classification information technology services. The award is active and the contract runs for five years.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for managed data centre hosting and connectivity in the East of England, at a substantial multi-year service scale. Businesses considering comparable work with Hertfordshire County Council would need credible capability in operating secure, resilient data centre environments and providing reliable connectivity as part of one managed service. Strong candidates would be able to demonstrate operational capacity for a long-term council requirement, service continuity, infrastructure management and dependable technical support. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers may be relevant where they can evidence the necessary hosting and networking capability, delivery capacity and experience of supporting public-sector or similarly critical customers through a framework call-off route.
