The project involved the procurement of software solutions focused on the cohesive EAM VARM replication and IBM PA Storage Protect Extended Edition subscription for the British Antarctic Survey. The contract, which is valued at £69,539.20, was awarded to Bentley Systems and is set to be executed in London (UKI).
