## Summary

De Montfort University (DMU), based in Leicester, conducted a procurement process titled "Cloud Strategy Readiness" under the IT services category, specifically addressing consulting, software development, and support. This process, focusing on delivering services to enhance DMU's cloud capabilities with Azure, reached the award stage and was finalised on 22nd May 2026. The procurement was executed through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior call publication, compliant with the RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 Framework. The contract was awarded to Servent Ltd, a supplier located in Glasgow, with a contract valued at GBP 83,300 for services beneficial to DMU's cloud adoption strategy. The location for the service delivery is within the UK, and the initiative, although initially having a lot that was later cancelled, aimed to improve cloud readiness and governance.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in IT consulting, particularly those specialising in cloud strategy and Azure enhancements. Companies possessing expertise in cloud operating models, technical refinement, and data platform deployment would find themselves well-suited for such contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises, like Servent Ltd, which is classified as an SME, can leverage this contract type to expand their portfolio and establish a stronger presence in the public sector IT services market. The absence of a prior call for competition indicates that firms with existing framework agreements, such as G-Cloud 14, may have an advantage in participating in such procurements.
