II.1.4) Short description
This Notice does not relate to the award of a new contract but to a modification to an existing contract in accordance with Article 72 of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract modification addressed by this Notice is for the provision of additional data centre and hosting services under an existing IT outsourcing services agreement.
The contracting authority is in the process of transforming and migrating its IT estate from 2 data centres provided by its existing supplier to entirely cloud based commodity services provided by a range of different suppliers. This migration will not be completed within the current term of the existing contract. The provision of the data centre and hosting services is extended by 4 years to enable the contracting authority to transition its current arrangements for application and data hosting to the cloud based solution. See Section II.2.4).

Main site or place of performance:
Canary Wharf, London.
II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Pending the contracting authority's transition of application and data hosting to a cloud based solution, the data centre and hosting services provided under the existing agreement are necessary and a change in contractor cannot be made for economic reasons (as to transition to a different contractor at this stage would significantly increase the cost to the authority as compared with those under the existing agreement); and would result in a substantial duplication of costs arising from the need to transition twice (i.e. to a new contractor for a relatively short term and then subsequently remediate and migrate to a cloud based solution). The estimated value of the services to be extended is in the range of 34 400 000 to 37 800 000 GBP over 4 years. The value of the data centre services extension is significantly less than 50 % of the total value of the existing IT outsourcing services agreement. See Section II.1.4).

Explanation
This Notice does not relate to the award of a new contract but to a modification to an existing contract in accordance with Article 72 of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract modification addressed by this Notice is for the provision of additional data centre and hosting services under an existing IT outsourcing services agreement.
The contracting authority is in the process of transforming and migrating its IT estate from 2 data centres provided by its existing supplier to entirely cloud based commodity services provided by a range of different suppliers. This migration will not be completed within the current term of the existing contract. The provision of the data centre and hosting services is extended by 4 years to enable the contracting authority to transition its current arrangements for application and data hosting to the cloud based solution.
Pending the contracting authority's transition of application and data hosting to a cloud based solution, the data centre and hosting services provided under the existing agreement are necessary and a change in contractor cannot be made for economic reasons (as to transition to a different contractor at this stage would significantly increase the cost to the authority as compared with those under the existing agreement); and would result in a substantial duplication of costs arising from the need to transition twice (i.e. to a new contractor for a relatively short term and then a further transition to a cloud based solution). The estimated value of the services to be extended is in the range of 34 400 000 to 37 800 000 GBP over 4 years. The value of the data centre services extension is significantly less than 50 % of the total value of the existing IT outsourcing services agreement.
