## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by JISC, a public authority based in Bristol, United Kingdom, involved the procurement of a 'FinOps solution'. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically for business intelligence software development services. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure and is now in the 'Award' stage, with IBM United Kingdom Limited being the selected supplier. The contract, valued at £24,000,000 gross over a potential four-year period (initial two years plus two optional one-year extensions), is set to commence on 26th February 2026 and potentially extend until 25th February 2030. The solution is primarily deployed for JISC's internal use but holds potential for broader deployment among JISC members and customers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud management and optimisation, particularly those with expertise in enterprise-scale deployments. Large enterprises, especially those with capabilities in financial systems software packages and associated services, would find this contract advantageous due to its substantial value and extended service period. The inclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the bidding process suggests that the tender evaluation considered diverse business scales, enabling a range of businesses to compete and grow through engagement with JISC's extensive cloud management operations.

## Notice

Jisc's Cloud Managed Services team was looking to procure a FinOps solution from a single provider. The successful solution will be predominately deployed by Jisc as the main user (use case (1) and (2)), however there is scope that the solution is in-directly made available to Jisc members and customers (use case (3).
