Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is seeking to provide continued Disaster Recovery, Data Backup Services, and bespoke Service Management & Protection of AIX, TSM & SVC through a direct award contract valued at £460,000. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, with the contract set to commence on 6th June 2021 and conclude on 6th March 2023. This contract arises from a framework established under CCS Framework RM3804, and the tender period ended on 8th April 2021. Services are primarily aimed at the information systems and servers industry, with delivery in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for organisations specialising in IT services, disaster recovery, and data management solutions. Businesses with the capability to provide robust backup and recovery services are encouraged to consider engaging in further competition once Bristol City Council completes its options scoping later in 2021. Given the nature of the contract, larger firms may have a competitive edge due to the complexity and scale of the services required.
