This procurement falls under the IT services category, classified by CPV as 72000000. The current procurement stage is in the Award phase, with a significant contract value of £240,000, which was signed on 2nd November 2021. The services will be delivered in Leeds, UK, and the procurement is being conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses focusing on IT services, particularly those specialising in cloud solutions, software development, and support. Companies with expertise in legacy system upgrades and experience in facilitating transitions from traditional IT infrastructures to modern cloud-based systems will find this contract particularly relevant. With the need for seamless integration and support for ongoing legacy applications, this opportunity is ideal for IT firms looking to expand their portfolio and client base in the growing cloud services market. ## Notice NGN look to put in place a contract extension for 6 months with the incumbent supplier of these services. The original contract was put in place to replace the arrangements and rationalise the data centres and provide a simplified and transparent Cloud+ Storage and Hosting arrangements. This contract also utilises modern secure private cloud hosting, reducing the overall cost and environmental impact of NGN's IT infrastructure, supported by an SCC Service Desk. Various elements from the Contract have been decommissioned and moved over to our own AWS infrastructure, however, there are still some legacy applications which are still to be upgraded/replaced before we can host in AWS. This include GIS, CP Uptime, Brand, McAfee and Workbook Tracker, which are all active projects in 3iG's programme to enable the switch to AWS in the next 6-9 months. This being the case, we therefore require a 1 year extension to cover the remaining requirements with SCC before it is fully moved over to AWS. As soon as these activities are complete, we can fully decommission our SCC estate. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NGN look to put in place a contract extension for 6 months with the incumbent supplier of these services.
