## Summary

The University of Southampton has awarded a contract for the provision of a Data Integration Platform under the CCS Digital Outcomes 6 Framework, Lot 1 Digital Outcomes, to Telefónica Tech UK Data & AI Limited. This initiative falls under the IT services industry category and aims to enhance the university's data literacy and operational model through a Microsoft Azure-based platform. The contract, valued at £1,740,000, will span from 21 October 2024 to 20 October 2027 and will be implemented at the University's Highfield Campus in Southampton (SO17 1BJ). The procurement process involved a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, especially those with expertise in data integration and Azure frameworks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suited to benefit from similar future opportunities, given their suitability in this procurement. The collaborative nature of the project, which includes mentoring and resource augmentation, can help businesses enhance their technical capabilities and expand their service offerings within the higher education sector.

## Notice

This innovation programme involves the University of Southampton committing to the development of a Microsoft Azure data integration platform. This platform is intended to support the categorisation, governance, storage, transfer, presentation, and utilisation of data. The ultimate goal is to transition the University of Southampton towards a more responsive operational model that enhances data literacy and uniformity, fosters collaboration, enables self-service capabilities, and stimulates innovation. It is envisaged that the supplier partner will build the data integration environment within the University's current well architected Azure tenancy and to provide technical capacity to setup a best practice integration platform within our current Azure tenancy and hand this over to our internal teams in a supported structure ready for BAU operational tasks and augment the University's integration engineering and development resources. It is also anticipated that supplier resources will be available for call off as and when required during the contract. The supplier will provide a recommendation of expected delivery resources for each call off task. We expect the partner to mentor and guide the UoS team in the implementation of best practice.
