This procurement was executed through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The programme seeks to support the discovery and definition of the Cloud Centre of Excellence (CoE) service offerings, build service capabilities, and launch these into production across NHS Digital and the wider NHS. Initially valued at £18.75 million, the contract has been extended until 31 March 2025, with an uplift in value to further support NHS England's Cloud Adoption requirements. The procurement stage is complete, having started on 1 October 2021 and concluded on 30 September 2023. Key delivery locations include Leeds, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses offering digital capability services, particularly those specialising in cloud infrastructure and technical service provision. Large-scale enterprises with the capacity to support extensive digital transformation projects and those already familiar with NHS digital transformation requirements would be well-positioned to benefit. The involvement of IBM indicates the project's scale and the complexity of requirements, suggesting a preference for established providers with comprehensive cloud service capabilities. The contract's extension and uplift underscore a substantial ongoing need for cloud adoption services, opening potential avenues for both direct participation and sub-contracting opportunities. ## Notice The Core Infrastructure Directorate requires a digital capability provider to support the Sustainable Hybrid Cloud programme. This contract is to support discovery and defining the Cloud Centre of Excellence (CoE) service offerings and roadmaps, build the CoE service capabilities and launch into production for both NHS Digital (NHS D) and the wider NHS.
