## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council procured primary and secondary data centre services. The requirement covers provision of the council’s secondary co-location data centre and relocation of its primary data centre from its current premises to a co-location facility. This is an ICT infrastructure and data hosting service, classified under data network management and data-processing services (CPV 72300000, with 72322000 also used). The work is for the council and relates to services delivered in North Lanarkshire, with the buying organisation based at the Civic Centre in Motherwell. The procurement formed part of the Scottish Government Cloud and Hosting Services framework, showing a requirement for hosted, resilient infrastructure rather than general IT support or one-off equipment supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from the Scottish Government Cloud and Hosting Services framework. It comprised one lot covering both the secondary co-location service and the relocation of the primary data centre. HFD Datavita Limited was selected as supplier, and the contract is active. The contract value is £1,545,000 GBP. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME; the published bid statistics also record one bid from outside the EU. The opportunity was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available procurement details identify the service scope and open framework route, but do not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for secure, resilient data-centre co-location and the migration of live primary infrastructure from existing premises. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with North Lanarkshire Council would need credible facilities for both primary and secondary hosting, with capacity to support continuity, resilience and separation between sites. They would also need proven experience in data-centre relocation and transition planning, including moving services with controlled disruption and maintaining operational support during migration. Familiarity with Scottish public-sector cloud and hosting arrangements, particularly the relevant Scottish Government framework, would be important because the council used that route for this purchase. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist infrastructure providers can compete where they can demonstrate suitable facilities, delivery capability and public-sector readiness.
