Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research and Innovation organisation has completed a procurement process for a high performance data storage server under the project title "DDaT25464 - High Performance Data Storage Server". The buying organisation, represented by UK Shared Business Services Limited, used a Direct Award procedure, calling off from the SSSNA Framework Agreement. This procurement falls under the 'Servers' category according to the CPV classification. The project, located at a delivery address with postal code EX39 6BH, progressed through the 'Award' stage, with the contract period running from 22nd October 2025 to 22nd February 2026. The tender was valued at £12,170 GBP, and the contract was awarded to Dell Corporation Limited on 21st October 2025, with the award notice published on 5th November 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses that supply high-performance data storage solutions, particularly those capable of participating in framework agreements. While the specific procurement method was selective, indicating that not all vendors were eligible, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable for this type of engagement. Companies that excel in delivering high-performance IT infrastructure and have a proven track record in public sector contracts would be well-suited for similar opportunities in the future.
