## Summary

The South of England Procurement Centre has completed a procurement process for an IT consultancy to migrate their remaining Windows Server 2012 systems to either Windows Server 2019 or 2022. The contract, valued at £62,314, was awarded to Cloud21 Limited. The procurement method involved a competitive quotation below the threshold. The project is located in Cosham, United Kingdom (PO6 3LY), and falls under the industry category of Computer support and consultancy services (CPV code: 72600000). Key dates include the completion of the tender period on 11th July 2024, the start of the contract on 19th August 2024, and its end on 28th February 2025. The procurement has now reached the award stage as of 16th August 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT consultancy and migration services. Companies with expertise in server upgrades and maintenance can benefit from competitive contracts below the threshold, providing them with essential funding and a showcase for their capabilities. The specific need for handling outdated server technology transitioning to newer versions aligns with firms possessing strong technical support skills. This opportunity also highlights the importance of timely and effective service delivery to meet the organisation's security and operational needs.

## Notice

This requirement is to upgrade all the Trust's remaining Microsoft Windows Server 2012 servers of which there are approximately 50 to either Win Svr 2019 or 2022. This is needed because Microsoft ended providing support to free patches, bug fixes updates in October 2023, but is still allowing customers to purchase Extended Security Updates (ESU's) until 2026.
