Summary of the contracting process

Public Health England (PHE), an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care, has conducted a procurement process for the contract titled "PHE - ICT - Resilient Geo-distributed Parallel HPC Storage." This contract, valued at £721,499.21, involves the purchase of two High Performance Computing storage systems to be installed in Colindale and Porton. The procurement process was initiated through a selective method via a framework agreement, and the contract period commenced on 13 March 2020, concluding on 12 March 2025. The tender phase ended on 28 February 2020, with successful completion of the contract now evident as of 17 March 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT and hardware sectors, particularly for those specialising in computer storage solutions and computer support services. Companies capable of providing high-performance computing hardware and installation services will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Given the scale of Public Health England's requirements and the framework agreement nature of the procurement, larger firms, as exemplified by the awarded supplier Softcat PLC, may have an advantage; however, niche providers with specific expertise in this tech sector could also find valuable openings.
