Description
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG) is reviewing its ICT infrastructure to support the organisation's wider digital transformation and ensure it remains robust, secure, and future-ready.

1. Migration of WCHG's on-premise infrastructure to a cloud platform (e.g. Microsoft Azure or equivalent).
2. Establishment of a Managed Service or wraparound support arrangement, providing a trusted escalation and support partner for WCHG's internal ICT team both during the migration project and as an ongoing managed service post-transition.
