## Summary

This procurement process, titled "UKSBS DDaT23244 Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) platform," was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited. It falls under the industry category of software-related services, with the location of delivery indicated by the postal code OX11 0QX. The contract, part of a call-off from the G Cloud 13 framework, was awarded upon completion. The original contract period was from 17th July 2023 to 16th July 2025, valued at £72,000, with a subsequent extension announced to 16th January 2026, increasing the contract value to £90,000. This award notice, dated 28th July 2023, highlights the successful contract with Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, UK Branch.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud computing and software services, especially those capable of delivering complex solutions on a virtual private cloud platform. While the contract terms have been finalised with a large supplier, Amazon Web Services, the extended framework period and procurement methodology suggest there may be future opportunities for small to medium enterprises to engage in similar government projects. Companies that have the capability to innovate and scale within a competitive, framework-based procurement environment would find this an advantageous foray into government contracting in the technology services sector.
