    Brief

    UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) seeks specialist consultancy services to design and establish standards for consolidating multiple Microsoft 365 tenancies into a unified, secure, and compliant cloud environment. The project focuses on the Design Stage only and requires an experienced supplier with a mature, operationally-proven Microsoft 365 standards framework. Key deliverables include: developing comprehensive enterprise standards covering Microsoft 365 services (Entra, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, Defender, Sentinel, Purview and Copilot), conducting current-state assessments across six to seven existing tenancies, producing target-state architecture and design documentation, establishing governance and compliance frameworks, and transferring knowledge to UKRI personnel. The supplier will review and build upon UKRI's existing draft standards and assessments rather than conducting duplicate discovery. The engagement explicitly excludes implementation, migration, managed services, and operational support—these will be subject to future procurements. The successful supplier will apply industry best practice and professional judgment to deliver design artefacts supporting consistency, security, compliance, operational efficiency and improved user experience. Budget: £250,000 excluding VAT. Interested suppliers must respond to validation questions by 16 October 2026.
