    "description": "CLASS is an ageing bespoke application and supported by ageing on premise hardware and virtualisation. It is the key function for Pay and Repay services. SLC strategy is to reduce reliance on physical data centres, and technology which needs to be renewed, maintained, and supported. Hosting CLASS on the Cloud will reduce reliance on data centres and the associated effort to support them.\nThe proposal aligns with overall government Cloud First approach and modernises the technology which supports CLASS.\nThe requirement shall be for the design and procurement of a cloud based platform in order to meet SLC requirements in an ongoing basis.\nThis is a retrospective notice as premarket engagement was undertaken by issuing a premarket engagement questionnaire to all companies listed on CCS Framework reference RM6292 (Cloud Compute 2) Lot 1 -Core Services. The questionnaire was issued via the Delta Esouring portal on 21/07/2025 and closed on 11/08/2025",
