This tender was aimed at providing dual data centre colocation services in Scotland, covering two separate sites for NHS NSS, focusing on secure infrastructure support including rack space, power and cooling. Managed migration services were also a key requirement. The procurement, valued at £1,608,810 and signed on 27 April 2026, used a selective, restricted procedure through a mini-competition within the Scottish Government Cloud and Hosting Services Framework. The contract was awarded to DataVita Ltd, despite the lot being cancelled, with the formal announcement made on 12 May 2026. The "Data Center Hosting" tender provides significant growth opportunities for IT service providers specialising in data centre services, particularly those with expertise in secure infrastructure and connectivity solutions. Companies like DataVita, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited for such procurements. Businesses involved or aiming to expand into data migration, colocation services, or those that support NHS infrastructure projects could benefit greatly from engaging with similar opportunities. The tender's selective procurement method indicates that suppliers with a notable service quality record are best positioned for success in this competitive framework environment. ## Notice This contract covers the provision of dual data centre colocation services within Scotland across two geographically separate sites, including secure rack space, power and cooling, and associated connectivity for NHS NSS-owned infrastructure. The scope includes supplier-managed migration services (audit, design, cabling, connectivity enablement and service migration) to move services from the current sites. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A mini-competition was undertaken through the Scottish Government Cloud and Hosting Services Framework (SP-22-023). Although the framework includes multiple suppliers and permits direct award, a competition was selected to evidence best value.
