Overview

The Department intends procuring Cloud Management Services to support its new initiative to adopt Cloud Infrastructure. It needs to assess the market’s ability to provide Cloud Management Services and establish a short-list of possible providers from whom it intends seeking proposals.
We want to hear from Respondents who can:

• provide Cloud Management Services that maintain and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Cloud Infrastructure

• demonstrate an understanding of:

o the current market for Cloud Management Services both in New Zealand and internationally plus evolving trends;
o how their Cloud Management Services offering will evolve to remain viable for the longer term;
o their current market position in New Zealand and internationally;
o the important aspects and components of Cloud Infrastructure that require managing to maintain and improve effectiveness and efficiency; and
o how their Cloud Management Services might be provided via existing government common capabilities or might augment those common capabilities or replace them.

RFx Outcome

This tender has been completed.

Further information:
A shortlist was established in the latter quarter of 2015 with the intent being that the Department would issue an RFP to the shortlist. The Department of Corrections has now made the decision to cancel this cloud management services procurement initiative. We are conscious that the information obtained via the cloud management services registration of interest process is now dated and improved offerings in the market could mean we do not achieve the best result by continuing with the current process.

The Department's cloud management services and cloud infrastructure services initiatives along with developments in the offerings of ICT panels such as TaaS, IaaS and ITMS have significantly informed our thinking and planning. As a result we have determined that cloud management services are not required before acquiring cloud infrastructure services nor in the early stages of laying the foundation and set-up.
