Purpose
Cumberland Council is the
Accountable Body for the delivery of the Borderlands 5G Innovation
Region Programme (5GIR) on behalf of the Borderlands Partnership.
To support the continuing work on 5GIR and the key
activities planned over the next 24 months, cloud support services
for 5G cloud-based programmes and integration are required.
Therefore, approval is sought for Cumberland Council to procure and
award a new contract for cloud support services, on behalf of the
joint programme, to Spirit Public Sector for 2 years with a maximum
value of £1.4m and with a commencement date of 2 June 2025.
Without this specialist expertise it will not be possible for the
current activities under the 5GIR to continue.
