## Summary

The procurement process titled "Azure Overage and marketplace charges" was conducted by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) as part of their initiative to manage Azure cloud services under their Enterprise Subscription Agreement with SoftwareOne UK Limited. This tender, classified under the CPV code for Operating systems, is at the Award stage, with the contract active since 1st June 2020 and due to end on 30th June 2021. The tender period concluded on 31st May 2020, and the contract involves a total value of £10,922. The activities are centred in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their footprint in the IT services sector, specifically within cloud solutions and licensing services. Businesses that specialise in Azure services, software development, or IT consultancy, particularly those with experience in managing cloud subscriptions and framework agreements, could find this contract aligns well with their capabilities, providing a potential pathway for growth and collaboration with a governmental entity.

## Notice

MCA currently has an Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA) with Comparex (now Software One). This entitles and enable us to add licenses for desktop and server applications. The ESA also allows us to credit our azure subscription with a financial commitment for Azure hosted services. The advice from Microsoft was to under allocate these credits and top up when needed. We are moving services over to the Azure cloud platform as part of the I&T Cloud first strategy in line with the DfT Digital Strategy. We can only purchase these credits from the above supplier as they are the incumbent provider under our current ESA.
