## Summary

Stonewater Limited has completed the procurement process for their "Microsoft Monetary Commitment" project, classified under the industry category of Software package and information systems. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £2,110,000 GBP, includes services such as ASR Disaster Recovery, Veeam Offsite Backup, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Azure Integration Services. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited, based in York, United Kingdom, and will run from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2028.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud computing and IT services, especially those experienced with Microsoft Azure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit from the competitive procurement strategy. Companies that provide disaster recovery services, virtual desktop infrastructure, and cloud integration services would find this contract highly relevant, offering substantial business growth and a stable partnership over the next three years.

## Notice

The Azure Monetary commitment is a pre-payment made to Microsoft for their Azure cloud services. The forecast for Azure spend over the next 3 years has risen significantly compared to previous years due to the migration of various services to the cloud in support of Stonewater's IT strategy. The following systems/services form the basis of the increased costs: * ASR - Disaster Recovery * Veeam Offsite Backup * Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) * Azure Integration Services (AIS) Other services such as Sentinel/Defender, which are already covered through the pre-payment model, will continue to be supported and will contribute to the overall costs.
