Notice Title

AzureTRE Data Lakehouse - SBS24-007

Notice Description

NECS is seeking a qualified and experienced professional build partner who is knowledgeable of all technical aspects of Trusted Research Environments (TRE) and who has experience of working with similar secure environments. The NENC SNSDE is based on Microsoft Azure infrastructure so the supplier must have experience of working with the technology stack. The supplier must work with the existing team at NECS collaboratively to grow and expand our existing TRE implementation. This will require the refactoring part of the current design to make best use of more modern and cost-effective technologies.
