Summary of the contracting process

The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is currently managing a tender process for the "SOL - Disaster Recovery - Modification" project within the ICT services industry. This procurement, classified under disaster recovery services (CPV code: 72251000), is set to continue until 31 July 2023, following a recent 12-month extension due to the impacts of COVID-19. The procurement is at the award stage and involves an estimated contract value of £493,360. The contract, originally commenced on 1 August 2017, has undergone modifications to extend its duration rather than alter any pricing or service specifications.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in disaster recovery and ICT services, particularly those capable of adapting to new challenges in service delivery accelerated by the pandemic. Companies that offer innovative disaster recovery solutions, resilient IT frameworks, or backup services that ensure the continuity of essential systems would be well-positioned to compete. Given the existing partnership with Adam Continuity, a division of Centerprise International, new entrants should focus on showcasing unique capabilities or enhanced service propositions that align with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council’s evolving ICT needs.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract is for the extension of an existing ICT Disaster Recovery solution which provides resilience for key systems and applications. The solution enables the recovery of HP servers (and the appropriate data related to them) from a Netbackup based disc and tape backup system. The Backups are taken over private Ethernet connection from the Council's Data Centre to storage on the supplier's site. The contract to fulfil the requirement described above commenced on 1 August 2017. The contract provided for an initial 2 year term with an option to extend for TWO further 1 Year periods. The options to extend have been exercised and the contract was due to expire on 31 July 2021. A further 12 months extension was agreed utilising PPN notice 01/20, therefore the current agreement is due to expire on 31 July 2022. This notice confirms that an extension of 12 months until 31 July 2023 has become necessary due to the impact of COVID 19 upon the future delivery of ICT services at the Authority. We can confirm that the specification, pricing and terms and conditions of the original agreement will not be altered, with the sole modification being the change to contract duration (to be charged at existing contract rates).
