This sits in the upper-middle of the IT Services band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 36,449 valued IT Services tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

National Oceanography Centre has published 9 IT Services notices, about every 4 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around January 2027.

43% of National Oceanography Centre’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

During 2019 NOC transitioned from being a Public sector organisation to an Independent company limited by guarantee.

As part of this transition, NOC has a requirement to separate, split or otherwise remediate elements of its IT Infrastructure and is seeking a delivery partner to delivery two key elements of this requirement.

Firstly, NOC’s on-going AD migration project, originally contracted for in 2019 with delivery commencing in Q2 2020.

Progress on the project has since stalled prior to the migration phase and following this extended period of downtime NOC is now looking for alternative providers to complete the remaining scope of work as detailed in our requirements below.

In addition to this, NOC requires migration away from the National Environmental Research Councils O365 cloud tenancy to an independent, NOC managed equivalent.
