Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a contract awarded by UK Shared Business Services Limited for the maintenance and support services of the CDS expansion storage platform at the Hartree Centre. This contract, titled "UK SBS DDaT20117 UKRI-STFC CDS hardware maintenance," falls under the services category, specifically for the maintenance and repair of data network equipment. The procurement method used is a limited negotiating procedure without prior publication, with the contract period commencing on 1 April 2020 and ending on 31 March 2021. A modification has extended the contract term to 31 March 2022, bringing the total contract value to £348,722.53, excluding VAT. The contract was completed and awarded on 31 March 2020, following a tender period that ended on 27 March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for technology service providers, especially those specialising in data network equipment maintenance. Given that the contract was awarded under a negotiating procedure, businesses with existing capabilities to manage technical compatibility and support services in data-related environments are likely to find this a suitable opportunity. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with technical expertise in the relevant field can position themselves favourably for future contracts of a similar nature, especially as the awarding authority may seek to renew or expand such contracts once they conclude.
