## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for the project titled "Data Centre Rationalisation (DCR) Migrations" to CGI IT UK LIMITED. The project involves migrating data centre facilities and replacing obsolete hardware and software components. The contract value is £18,800,000, with a contract period from August 5, 2022, to August 4, 2025. The procurement method used was "selective" through calling off from a framework agreement. The tendering period ended on April 5, 2022, with the contract awarded on June 13, 2022. The project falls under the industry category of Data services, and the delivery address is in SN13 9GB, United Kingdom.

This contract opportunity with the Ministry of Defence presents significant potential for business growth, particularly for firms in the data services industry. Businesses offering expertise in data centre migration and modernization of hardware and software components would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. As the contract period spans over three years, successful suppliers can establish long-term relationships with the Ministry of Defence and gain valuable experience in delivering large-scale projects within the public sector.

## Notice

Defence has commenced a programme of activity to remedy the issues of legacy technology obsolescence. 20 programmes/projects have been identified that start to address the most critical risks. DCR is one such project that seeks to migrate data centre facilities and replace obsolete hardware and software components including a significant proportion of the MS Windows Server OS and DB estate. The 'Cloud-first' principle adopted by DCR is consistent with the 'evergreen' strategy within the legacy obsolescence programme.
