## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking a contractor for the provision of IT services, specifically in relation to Microsoft Azure platform services, through a selective procurement method. The tender titled "CDW Ltd" has a total value of £6,000,000 and the contract is set to commence on 1st July 2017, running until 30th June 2018. The tender period has already concluded as of 16th June 2017. The delivery addresses cover various locations including the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those focused on consulting, software development, and support. Companies that can offer agile solutions capable of adapting to evolving project requirements will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the nature of the procurement, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their agility and personalised service capabilities in a competitive landscape.

## Notice

The agile nature of development in DfE dictates that requirements may evolve and change during the project lifecycles. DfE anticipates that hosting requirements could potentially utilise any element, or combination of elements, of the Azure platform services; therefore the full portfolio of Microsoft Azure services will be available via the contract. DfE will have complete and full access direct to the Microsoft Azure Management Portal; will commission and decommission services through the portal as required without interaction with CDW; and will be billed accordingly. Support for commissioned services will be direct via Microsoft via one of the Azure flexible support plans delivered through the Microsoft Premier Support arrangement.
