Description
The Authority, on behalf of Scottish Ministers are establishing a multi-supplier national framework agreement for the provision of Cloud Services. The key aims of the framework are to deliver efficient access to Cloud Services to the Scottish public sector offering value for money, in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly way. The full scope of services will include, but not be limited to, the current services being offered to the Scottish public sector: - Platform as a Service (PaaS) & Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud hosting services such as public/private/hybrid cloud - Traditional co-location and hosting - Transition services Where Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Services (PaaS) are likely to be considered key requirements of any future Cloud Services arrangement, it is likely that Software as a Service (SaaS) would be out of scope, being delivered by other arrangements.
