## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the "IT Managed Service Contract" initiated by Cross Keys Homes Limited, located in Peterborough, East of England. This tender, classified under information technology services, is currently at the Tender stage and was published on 13th August 2020. The tender period is set to close on 14th September 2020, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st June 2021 and run until 31st May 2024. The total value of the contract is £5,000,000, and it will be awarded through a selective procurement method following a competitive dialogue.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those capable of providing managed services, cloud solutions, and infrastructure hosting. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the contracting authority is open to their participation. Vendors that can demonstrate innovative approaches to enhancing business application portfolios alongside robust service delivery will be particularly well-suited competitors for this contract, which aims to refresh Cross Keys Homes' IT infrastructure.

## Notice

Cross Keys Homes has core IT infrastructure (servers, storage and core switches) that has been provided as a service through the current managed service contract since October 2018 by Castleton, a managed service provider, via a hosted environment. The Castleton managed services and data centre hosting contract expires at the end of May 2021. It is therefore important that Cross Keys Homes now start a project to refresh its infrastructure and discuss with potential bidders future options for hosting, and/or public/private cloud and managed service provision to move ahead with the enhancements of its business application portfolio and business strategy
