Published requirement descriptionWythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG) is reviewing its ICT infrastructure to support the organisation's wider digital transformation and ensure it remains robust, secure, and future-ready.

- Establishment of a Managed Service or wraparound support arrangement, providing a trusted escalation and support partner for WCHG's internal ICT team both during the migration project and as an ongoing managed service post-transition.
