## Summary

Borders College procured infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud hosting and data-centre backup services. The requirement covers hosting the college’s systems in the cloud and backing up its data; the lot description identifies this as a call-off for cloud hosting services under the Scottish Procurement Cloud Services Framework. The service is for Borders College, with delivery at the college in Galashiels, Scottish Borders. This is an IT infrastructure service rather than a purchase of hardware or a general-purpose cloud software licence. The procurement’s classification is for data-processing and hosting services (CPV 72317000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Borders College used an open procedure to call off from the Scottish Procurement Cloud Services Framework SP-22-023; the requirement was a single lot. DataVita Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and has a value of £358,060.80. The source does not give a contract end date or duration, nor a stated evaluation breakdown. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs; all three were electronic. The recorded award identifies DataVita and relates to the cloud-hosting lot.

This award demonstrates demand at Borders College for managed cloud hosting and data-centre backup delivered through its Scottish Procurement Cloud Services Framework. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to provide dependable IaaS hosting alongside secure, reliable backup and recovery for the college’s data and systems. The selected supplier is an SME, and two of the three bidders were also SMEs, showing that the competition included smaller providers as well as other businesses. Suppliers should be able to work within the framework call-off route and demonstrate the operational capability to deliver both hosting and backup as a joined service for an education customer. The procurement provides evidence of an established college requirement, rather than a one-off equipment purchase.
