AWS Tenders and Contracts

AWS tenders cover cloud hosting and consumption, managed services and enterprise support for existing AWS environments, migration and landing zone projects, secure connectivity into AWS and VMware Cloud on AWS renewals.

Stotles brings together AWS tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Most AWS hosting, support and reseller services are called off from G-Cloud, so many opportunities reach only suppliers already listed.

AWS tenders are scored on technical capability and AWS partner status, security, service levels, migration approach and price. Many awards are renewals or extensions, so incumbents have an advantage and new entrants often win at re-procurement of a managed service.

Cloud work for public bodies must comply with UK data protection law, and government buyers often ask for Cyber Essentials Plus and security-cleared staff. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

AWS contracts are mostly let through call-offs rather than standalone tenders. G-Cloud is the common route for hosting, support and reseller services, and many awards are extensions or additional lots against an existing agreement rather than a new competition. Open tenders appear for larger migration or managed-service programmes.

Councils, NHS bodies, central government departments, universities and Irish state agencies buy AWS hosting, support and migration work, mostly as renewals or extensions of environments they already run.

Read cloud and digital strategies, data centre exit plans, framework renewal dates and migration business cases, which name AWS well before a notice appears. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

AWS work is filed under broad IT services codes rather than a cloud-specific one: CPV 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support) and 48000000 (Software package and information systems). Neither code is specific to AWS.
