        "description": "Home Group is seeking Oracle Support in two distinct areas, E-Business Suite (EBS) Database Administration Support (DBA) and EBS Technical and Functional Support. In line with the tender brief and associated documentation, our goal is to establish a robust Oracle support contract tailored to meet our needs in two distinct mission critical areas, EBS DBA Support and EBS Technical and Functional Support. We aim to secure a contract that ensures comprehensive, reliable and efficient support services enabling Home Group to maintain and enhance our EBS infrastructure and operations effectively. Services will be divided into two separate lots, with no interdependencies or restrictions on the suppliers who may submit proposals for either lot:- Lot 1 - EBS DBA Support The initial contract term is three years, with the option to extend for up to two additional one-year periods for lot 1 - 3+1+1. This results in a total potential contract duration of five years for this particular lot. Extensions will be at the discretion of Home Group and will require agreement with the successful supplier. Lot 2 - EBS Technical and Functional Support The initial contract term is two years, with the option to extend for up to three additional one-year periods for lot 2 - 2+1+1+1. This results in a total potential contract duration of five years for this particular lot.",

Home Group's Oracle e-Business Suite Estate is hosted in OCI and in addition to the core System Database and Applications Servers it also contains VMs for the Enterprise Command Centre, Learning Content Server, APEX (Oracle Application Express), IPA (Identity Policy and Audit), TFTP (for hosting Taleo Recruitment integration files) and an external facing Oracle Supplier Portal. The requirement is to provide a service that will cover all day to day (business as usual) support requirements for the aforementioned systems from a database, operating system and OCI Platform point of view. This will include the routine administration of the systems to maintain their security, stability and performance, whilst also serving the requirements of the business to provide typical ad-hoc and planned Oracle Database Administration (DBA), Linux Operating System (O/S) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Administration services. The production systems are mission critical and as such Home Group will require that the service makes allowance for this, ensuring that the systems are proactively covered for P1 (System Unavailable) situations with issues resolved as they occur within the agreed Service Levels of Support or preferably, that they are prevented by active monitoring with pro-active remedial actions.
