Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service conducted a procurement process for the title "Replacement of Storage Area Network (SAN)" as part of the services category, specifically within the public order and safety sector. This open procedure was initiated to address the urgent need for enhanced data storage solutions due to increasing storage requirements. The contract has been awarded to XMA Limited following the completed tender process. Significant dates include the signing of the contract on 27 November 2018, with the total contract value amounting to £220,687. The service will be delivered in Edinburgh, UK, where the buying organisation is situated.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in ICT solutions and storage systems. Companies with expertise in high-capacity data storage, particularly those capable of providing robust, secure, and scalable solutions, would be well-suited to compete for future tenders of this nature. Moreover, there may also be opportunities for subcontracting arrangements, as evidenced by Capito Limited's involvement as a subcontractor on this procurement, potentially allowing smaller or niche firms to engage in larger contracts through partnerships.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Replacement of Storage Area Network (SAN)

Notice Description

The current COPFS SAN solution is no longer able to provide COPFS with the storage necessary to support the substantial growth in data storage requirements and is dangerously close to their maximum capacity.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The current SAN solution is no longer able to provide COPFS with the storage necessary to support the substantial growth in data storage requirements and is dangerously close to their maximum capacity. The hardware platform is also classed as 'End of Life' which presents a significant risk to COPFS with no further security or support patches being released by the vendor. COPFS made a significant investment in this technology over five years ago, and could continue to use the platform as a development environment, but is no longer fit for purpose as a 'live' system.
