## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acquiring cloud hosting services, titled "AWS CO OGVA Hyperscale Cloud Hosting." This initiative falls within the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, internet, and support. The contract, currently in the Award stage, commenced on 1st December 2020 and is set to run until 30th November 2023. This selective procurement process emerged from a framework agreement, with a minimum contract value of £18 million and a total value of £57 million, catering to locations including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in IT services, particularly those that specialise in cloud solutions and hosting services. Companies offering innovative cloud technologies or enhanced service delivery models would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts stemming from this agreement. The DWP's commitment to improving value for money suggests potential for collaborations that can leverage efficient cloud practices, making this a vital area for both established firms and ambitious scale-ups in the tech sector.

## Notice

In line with the relevant Government Digital Service (GDS) service design principles, DWP's own strategic principles, and the use of Public Cloud hosting as the first choice, all non-strategic transitional hosting workloads continue to migrate from DWP's On-Premise environments to its strategic Hyperscale Cloud. Cloud consumption is forecast to increase as a result of all of this migration. In August 2019, DWP created a strategic, 2-year GDP G-Cloud10 Hyperscale contract with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to future-proof hosting delivery and take advantage of new preferential commercial terms to improve value for money. The contract is currently not delivering best value for money and DWP looked to find a replacement with improved discounts, which has been developed through Cabinet Office's One Government Value Agreement (OGVA) to which DWP signed up as an Anchor Customer.
