Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by Alliance Homes focused on the acquisition of server and network storage hardware, specifically a HPE d-HCI solution featuring a Nimble AF40 All-Flash Array, HPE DL360 Gen 10 servers, and HPE FlexFabric 5710 switches. The procurement, which falls under the category of information systems and servers, was completed with an award decision published on 18th May 2021. The tender was launched via an open procedure, and suppliers were required to submit their quotations electronically by 6th May 2021. The contract was set to commence on 11th May 2021 and runs until 11th July 2021, with an estimated total award value of approximately £131,357 for the chosen supplier, Cristie Data Ltd, located in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT and hardware sectors, particularly those specialising in server and network solutions. Firms that provide integrated technology solutions, such as HPE products, or those capable of offering robust support services are particularly well-suited to compete. The requirement for a comprehensive support package indicates that suppliers with experience in maintenance and operational support can enhance their proposals, thus making this an appealing opportunity for SMEs looking to expand their market share in public contracts.
