Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Renewal of support for Locksbrook data centre," managed by Bath Spa University, has reached the award stage. The project, which falls under the "Software package and information systems" category, involves the renewal of data centre support services, valued at £36,149.59. The services will be provided within the South West region of the United Kingdom, with a contract period starting from 15th June 2025 to 1st July 2026. The contract was awarded on 4th March 2025 to MTI Technology Limited through a direct award procurement method.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software, data services, and computer-related services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive data centre solutions.

Companies with a strong track record in maintaining and servicing data centres would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar opportunities in the future.
