Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations
Explanation:
LHP are looking to renew our Azure hosting services and support. This needs to be a 24/7 service where we can raise a support request quickly to Microsoft in the event of an incident or issue.
We have done a search via G-Cloud to identify appropriate suppliers who offer this (ANS Group, VE3 Global and JUNGLE IT). Whilst the other providers mention they support Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) they don't mention the 24/7 support for the services. The listing under JungleIT for the response times for tickets looks to fit the requirement for LHP better.
Direct award to JUNGLE IT via G-CLOUD framework.
