## Description
Following market exit by the incumbent, Civica, we are appointing a single managed service partner to support our IT estate end to end, to replace them. In summary, we need a partner who will provide reliable day-to-day support with root-cause fixes, keep us secure and compliant in a way proportionate to our size, modernise our connectivity, help us get more value from Microsoft 365, and act as a cost-conscious strategic advisor as we move towards a "SaaS First" model. 
The service must be deliverable and affordable for an organisation of our size, being roughly 40 staff, around £5m turnover and around 1,620 homes, rather than an enterprise-grade build we could not justify or sustain.
