What the buyer published
Manchester City Council (MCC) have recently defined a Hybrid Cloud strategy focusing on migrating current on-premises application workloads to public cloud hosting services with Microsoft Azure selected as the target cloud provider (along with Citrix Cloud for hosting Citrix application services). The Council is looking to exploit the benefits public cloud hosting can bring including improved flexibility, reduced infrastructure operating responsibilities, improved disaster recovery, automation and contribution to Zero Carbon Manchester objectives. To help achieve the aim of public cloud hosting the Council is looking for a Microsoft Gold Partner holding Azure Expert MSP certification to provide cloud design and migration services and a co-managed cloud service for a two-year period (partner status is also required sought in Citrix and Fortinet solutions)
