## Summary

The procurement process titled "Crown Hosting Data Centre Renewal" is conducted by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in the services industry, specifically focusing on building rental and data services. This selective procurement method, which is executed via a call-off from a framework agreement, was officially completed on 4th June 2021, following the contract period commencing on 1st June 2021 and extending until 31st May 2026. The tender process concluded on 14th January 2021, and the total contract value is set at £26,600,000, with delivery to be made in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in data services and asset management. Companies that specialise in data centre operations, cloud services, or related IT infrastructure will find this contract particularly relevant. The DWP's strategy to optimise its data facilities and increase cloud integration means there may be further rounds of contracts or associated services required in the future, making it advantageous for businesses that can demonstrate expertise in security-compliant data handling and innovative technological solutions.

## Notice

Following the purchase of the 4 Datacentre rooms starting in 2015 through the CCS Framework, the rental is due for renewal. The Department strategy is to increase it's footprint in the Cloud, however, some applications will remain in the DC due to Security requirements whilst others will become obsolete during their tenure. This facility therefore remains a key strategic requirement for the foreseeable future. Current asset refresh and continued migrations however will see efficiencies in delivery and optimisation over the coming years so there remains an opportunity to reduce the DWP facilities footprint; this is factored into this agreement.
