Defra Signs New Aws Contract Worth £20 Million

The UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has renewed its contract with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for the provisioning of cloud services. The new contract is worth $25 million (£20.8 million) and will last for three years, with Defra allocating at least $4.7 million (£3.9 million) each year towards AWS’ cloud services. The agreement is reportedly six times more valuable than the previous contract between the two parties.
