    Brief

    Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) seeks a managed service provider to oversee Greater Manchester Police's hybrid infrastructure environment, comprising both on-premises and cloud-hosted systems. The police operate a mixed IT estate with legacy systems requiring specialized support and demanding 99.99999% availability levels (approximately 2.6 seconds downtime per year). Current infrastructure includes two physical datacentres located in Claytonbrook, Manchester, and Corsham, Bristol, alongside a private Microsoft Azure cloud environment. The successful supplier will coordinate with existing service providers (Telefonica managing on-premise servers and ANS managing cloud services) and integrate with the current Alemba service management platform. This role requires expertise in hybrid cloud environments, enterprise-grade infrastructure management, and ability to support mission-critical policing operations with minimal service interruption.
