Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether any other firms had bid to win the contract awarded to Amazon Web Services to host the primary components of the Crown Marketplace.
This contract was a direct award under the G-Cloud 10 commercial agreement. As such, no suppliers ‘bid’ for this contract; an assessment of suppliers’ service offerings was made following a compliant search through the Digital Marketplace. A contract was awarded to the supplier whose services best fit CCS’ needs, in accordance with the G-Cloud guidance.
