The Server Rack Transfer Project, initiated by Solent University, involves the provision of data centre hosting services within the services industry, specifically classified under data services (CPV 72300000). The award was made on 8th November 2021, and while the contract has been concluded, it may be extended beyond the initial three-year term, lasting until 30th November 2024.

The relevant work is to be performed in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The initial tender period ended on 20th October 2021.
