## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has successfully awarded a contract for a Cloud Cost Optimisation Tooling, valued at £232,558. This procurement process falls under the software package and information systems category within the goods sector. The award was officially made on 9 December 2020, and the contract will be effective from 10 December 2020, running until 9 December 2022. This selective tender was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, aimed at enhancing the value derived from DWP's strategic Hyperscale Cloud Hosting contracts, ensuring high availability for their services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in cloud software solutions, particularly those capable of providing innovative optimisation tools tailored for hyperscale cloud environments. Companies focused on delivering efficient and cost-effective cloud management solutions will find this contract aligned with their offerings, especially if they can demonstrate the ability to generate tangible savings in cost and time for the DWP. As the procurement process adheres to a selective method, organisations interested in collaborating with DWP should prepare to demonstrate their expertise and relevant capacity to engage in successful outcomes.

## Notice

DWP have strategic Hyperscale Cloud Hosting contracts which were placed to represent best value for money and high availability in order for services to be highly available to DWP's claimants online whenever needed, providing high response & resilience. In line with DWP's Hosting Strategy to migrate from legacy hosting services to Hybrid Cloud services where the use of Hyperscale Cloud provision for OFFICIAL workloads is the primary objective, this has resulted in increased consumption levels for DWP's strategic Hyperscale hosting solutions. As a result, we need to look at opportunities for optimisation in line with the increased consumption to provide greater value. DWP is committed to building a strategic digital approach for the future, reducing costs, and achieving value for money for taxpayers and having reviewed and made use of all available native Tooling with the Hyperscale Cloud suppliers and reviewed options within the market, now needs to progress to deploying a Tool that will enable them to identify and make demonstrable savings. There are financial savings and also savings in terms of time/effort saving.
