## Summary

VisitBritain and VisitEngland bought specialist data and analytics platform architecture and change assurance services. The work covers independent technical oversight, architecture assurance and strategic advisory support for the organisation’s Azure and Databricks-based data platform. It is an information technology services requirement (CPV 72222300), delivered for the British Tourist Authority’s tourism operations in the United Kingdom. The buyer is VisitBritain/VisitEngland, based in Birmingham. The requirement is focused on assuring platform architecture and managing or scrutinising change across a modern cloud data environment, rather than on routine IT support, general software supply or standalone data analysis. It is therefore most relevant to suppliers providing senior data-platform architecture, technical assurance and strategic advisory expertise, particularly for Azure and Databricks environments.

The procurement has been awarded and the selected supplier is Telefónica Tech UK Data and AI Limited. The contract is active, with a value of £320,248 including the published currency of GBP, and was signed on 17 August 2026. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, using the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14). The procurement was evaluated on social value, technical quality and price, weighted at 10%, 65% and 25% respectively. One bid was recorded. The process used one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. The procurement was treated as outside the directive’s scope and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates demand from VisitBritain and VisitEngland for independent oversight of a cloud-based data and analytics platform, with technical assurance running alongside strategic advice and change management. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in Azure and Databricks, including the ability to assess platform architecture, scrutinise proposed technical changes and provide impartial assurance to a public-sector buyer. The strong emphasis on technical quality indicates that depth of specialist capability matters more than price alone, while social value and commercial value also form part of the evaluation. Suppliers with experienced data-platform architects, change-assurance specialists and advisers able to work across the buyer’s tourism-focused operations would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
