Summary of the contracting process

The University of Southampton has successfully completed a procurement process for GPU servers, classified under the data-processing machines (hardware) category. The procurement was initiated on 22nd July 2022 and involved a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £32,938, was awarded on 23rd June 2022, with the contract period spanning from 24th June to 28th July 2022. Deliveries were designated for the South East of England.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in computing hardware, particularly those able to provide efficient rack-mounted server solutions with a strong price-to-performance ratio. Companies with expertise in GPU technologies, including those with modest NVIDIA GPU capabilities compatible with the CUDA API, would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this an advantageous avenue for growth in the competitive tech landscape.

Notice Title

GPU Servers

Notice Description

The University seeks to procure a set of compute capabilities to support two newly delivered A100 class GPU systems. We require a rack mounted server solution delivering a strong price to performance ratio. It would be helpful if these servers included modest NVIDIA GPU capabilities compatible with the CUDA API for code testing but this is not mandatory. CPU performance is the prime consideration.
