Additionally, the CSP provider must hold Azure Expert MSP (Managed Service Provider) credentials.

This competition is solely for the provision of Azure cloud consumption only. The CSP must be located in the EEA, or in a country which has an adequacy decision from The European Commission in relation to regulation 2016/679. The CSP must provide English based support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Note that this support is for the purpose of escalation of tickets to Microsoft on Azure fabric specific issues. Tenderers must provide their Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and their processes for Priority 1 and Priority 2 tickets. The estimated contract value for the duration, including any extensions is €4.8m. However, the Authority reserves the right to expend up to €6m.
