Scottish Procurement is considering establishing a collaborative arrangement for Cloud and/or Hosting services. Any such arrangement would build on the existing Cloud Services framework which is due to expire on 31 July 2023. The structure and scope of the new arrangement is still being considered, but could include: a) Public Cloud (including but not limited to access to Hyperscale Public Cloud) b) Private Cloud c) Community Cloud d) Hybrid Cloud e) Co-location f) Cloud Transition Services Where Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Services (PaaS) are likely to be considered key requirements of any future Cloud Services arrangement, it is likely that Software as a Service (SaaS) would be out of scope, being delivered by other arrangements. The attached Request for Information is aimed at collating views from potential market participants. The information gathered will be utilised in developing the Scottish public sector Cloud/Hosting Services procurement strategy and any subsequent national procurement arrangement. No single submission will define the national procurement arrangement in its entirety, but all responses will be used to inform the procurement strategy. Suppliers and other interested parties should read and complete the attached Request for Information document and return it to ICTServicesAndSoftwareTeam@gov.scot by 19 December 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC465912 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Dec 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Apr 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8EA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 5 Dec 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC465912 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC465912&idx=1 5th December 2022 - Cloud Services Request for Information - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC465912 Cloud Services - Scottish Procurement is considering the establishment of a collaborative arrangement for Cloud/Hosting services ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=714132 - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000714132 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
