Description

Halton Housing is seeking tenders for an Azure Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP). HH have migrated all infrastructure into Microsoft Azure in the past 12-18 months, resulting in a significant rise in consumption. HH have also recently moved from Azure Legacy onto Azure Plan.

Moving forward, HH would like to work with a CSP who will engage on a regular basis, offering proactive account management, cost optimisation advice and best practice guidance around developments in the Azure world.

The outcome of the tender process will be a 3-year contract expected to commence from September 2022. The contract will be awarded to 1 service provider.

HH spend approximately £10,000 (excluding VAT) per month on their current service, however the intention is to reduce Cloud usage over the 3-year term of this contract to around half of current levels.
