Procurement for the provision of Hyperscaler Services to enable Data Centre Exit

Description

The objective of the programme is to exit all services from three managed data centres and decommission any remaining infrastructure within the current contract period of the incumbent data centre hosting provider (June 2028). The scope of the technical migration is currently all services supported by hardware in the three data centres. Other programmes may have plans to migrate services prior to the DCE exit date and once those programmes are confirmed, HMRC will de-scope from DCE as appropriate. The procurement of a hyperscaler and subsequent award will provide a vehicle to deliver the technical migration to the public cloud of services within the scope of the programme, and their hosting for the remaining life of the contract. The specifics of the migration plan will be confirmed during the negotiation phase of the procurement process. The procurement of a hyperscaler will depend on meeting requirements that support an efficient, effective, and timely migration of the services within the scope, balancing cost, risk, timescale and without affecting service continuity.
