Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board has completed a public procurement process for the replacement of Storage Area Networks (SAN’s) and Fibre switches at their sites in Edinburgh and Oban. The project, titled “SAN's, Switches and Migration,” was initiated as the existing Dell EMC VNX5300 systems reached end of life. The total value of the contract is £172,638.80, with the procurement method being selective through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 20 October 2020 and is set to run until 31 October 2025.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in hardware and IT services, particularly those experienced in network infrastructure and data migration. Companies that can efficiently deliver replacement SANs, Fibre switches, and associated migration services will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this contract. The urgency of the project, due to the critical nature of the equipment for the NLB's operations, further enhances the potential for timely and responsive service provision to secure future engagements.
