The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has completed the procurement process for a FinOps and Cloud Cost Management System, along with related services, under the G-Cloud 13 Call Off. This procurement is in the IT services industry, covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support, as classified by CPV code 72000000. Key dates include the contract signing on 30th September 2024, and the procurement method used was a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, conducted due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The project location is within the UK, and the awarded contract value is £733,586. The lot included in the tender had options for a 12-month extension, but was ultimately cancelled.
