The contract is located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, with a planned contract period starting on 26 March 2018 and concluding on 26 March 2021, with an option to extend for two additional years. The tender period for submissions ends on 19 February 2018. The procurement method is described as an open procedure, allowing for a competitive bidding process above the stipulated financial threshold, with a contract value estimated between £250,000 and £350,000. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, specifically those equipped to implement and support cloud solutions, such as Microsoft Azure platforms. Companies able to provide comprehensive migration strategies, along with ongoing support services for cloud infrastructures, will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Given CBH's requirements for design, implementation, and various support elements, businesses focused on innovative IT solutions and project management in the tech industry may find this contract particularly beneficial for expansion and revenue growth. ## Notice CBH are inviting bids to supply CBH with the implementation and support of a Microsoft Azure cloud solution to host CBH's core operating applications over the next three years (potential to extend for a further two years). CBH require the winning bidder to design, implement and then support a Microsoft Azure platform with the following associated elements: o Hosted Domain management o Application server hosting o Application client delivery o File and document storage o Security and identity management o End user device build and configuration o Backup and disaster recovery configuration o Microsoft Office 365 implementation o Infrastructure Support Services CBH has undertaken investigations into the most fit for purpose cloud infrastructure: it has been determined that Microsoft Azure services are the most appropriate for CBH. CBH requires the winning bidder to assist it in designing its new IT infrastructure based on Microsoft Azure services, a migration plan (tasks, resources, timescales) for CBH to move from its current infrastructure to this new infrastructure and support through this migration process. These aspects should therefore be clearly set out in bidders' tender responses. The Azure region must be North Europe or West Europe; UK regions can be submitted for price comparison. CBH's detailed requirements are shown in Appendix A. These requirements have been captured through discussion with staff and in consultation with an independent IT consultancy as part of CBH's market engagement. The requirements are written in business language and have been categorised as either essential or desirable. Bidder responses must demonstrate how all essential requirements are met in the suggested solution and should identify any additional functionality and where this covers desirable requirements.
