## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Ministry of Justice in London, seeks a new contract for an "Interim Hosting Dedicated (Private) Cloud Service." This contract is designed to replace an inadequate public cloud solution and address security concerns associated with hosting legacy applications. Classified under the network infrastructure category (CPV code 32424000), this selective procurement method involves a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract runs from 2nd May 2023 to 30th December 2025, covering regions that include the UK, British Oversea Territories, and other global locations. The award was made to Six Degrees Technology Group Limited for a contract value of £9,374,520.80.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in cloud services, data management, and network infrastructure. The procurement process indicates suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, making it a strategic growth opportunity for such entities capable of providing secure, scalable private cloud solutions. Companies with expertise in transitioning from legacy systems to modernised infrastructure stand to benefit significantly, leveraging this contract to enhance their service offerings and client base.

## Notice

The procurement is seeking a new contract to replace the current Interim Public Hosting contract as it has been identified that the solution provided was unable to meet the originally stipulated requirements. During the mobilisation and detailed Low-Level Design (LLD) phase, it became apparent that public cloud was not adequate to address risks, especially the security associated with hosting of the legacy applications. This has meant the need to change from a Public Cloud to a Private Cloud environment to allow for the requirements to be met and enable the exit of the legacy hosting service within the required timeframes. A new contract is required to deliver the Interim Hosting requirements and enable the safe exit of the legacy Vodafone hosting service within the required timeframes. Without the provision of Interim Hosting there is no practical and affordable way that the Vodafone data centre exit can be achieved within the current Hosting contract term.
