Severn Trent Water has gone out to tender with a contract for the provision of Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas), Platform as a Service (Paas), core, innovation and other cloud services worth an estimated £13.5 million.
Scope of the contract which Severn Trent and sister company Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig are jointly procuring to put a framework agreement in place covers:
- full scale data centre migration to public cloud
- migration of workloads into public cloud
- transformation of workloads already within public cloud
- partial migration of some systems into public cloud
- ongoing management of workloads within public cloud
The utilities are looking to appoint up to six suppliers to the framework. It is currently envisaged that the Utilities will nominate a primary framework holder and a number of secondary framework holders, although the envisaged structure is subject to change.
The primary framework holder will be responsible for performing the utilities core work under the framework. The utilities will be free to award works packages to the primary framework holder without consulting the secondary framework holders.
The contract is expected to start in August 2019 and run until August 2027.
