Cloud Migration — Public Procurement
Migrating IT systems to the cloud is a central topic for public administration in Germany and the EU. The federal government, the states and municipalities are increasingly moving specialist applications, databases and infrastructure to cloud environments — whether to the German Administration Cloud, sovereign cloud platforms or hybrid architectures. Cloud migration projects cover planning, implementation and operation, and are frequently awarded as framework agreements.
Typical tenders in the cloud migration sector
- Migration of a federal authority's server infrastructure to a sovereign cloud
- Design and implementation of a hybrid cloud strategy for a state data centre
- Framework agreement for cloud transformation consulting and implementation
- Lift-and-shift migration of specialist applications to a private cloud environment
- Setup of a container platform (Kubernetes) for running specialist applications

Challenges in tender discovery
Cloud migration is a relatively new topic in public procurement, and the CPV nomenclature represents it only inadequately. Tenders use terms such as "cloud transformation", "data centre migration", "Infrastructure as a Service" or "platform modernisation", which makes a search based on keywords alone difficult.
In addition, requirements differ considerably depending on the cloud model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), security level and sovereignty requirements. Relevant tenders can be published under infrastructure, consulting or software categories.
