Tender Description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority is putting in place an agreement for the provision of public cloud computing as a multi-Lot, multi-supplier framework agreement, available for use by those potential Buyers listed in the Contract Notice. These are UK public sector bodies and future successor organisations, which includes (but is not limited to): Central Government Departments and their arm's length bodies and agencies; the wider public sector; and third sector e.g. public sector or third sector organisations in local government, health, education, police, fire and rescue, housing associations and charities.
Buyers will be able to fulfil their public cloud computing needs directly from core cloud service suppliers or choose to fulfil their requirements indirectly through resellers who will also make available additional value-adding ancillary services that support the customer's adoption, usage or optimisation of the core cloud services.
