                "description": "The innovation component of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal is focussed on the development of a Data Driven Innovation (DDI) Programme to establish the City Region as the Data Capital of Europe, attracting inward investment, fuelling entrepreneurship and supporting inclusive economic growth. To achieve this, the DDI Programme requires a powerful, high capacity, innovative and flexible data infrastructure capable of agile delivery of an expanding array of complex and bespoke data and analytical services. At the heart of this requirement, is the World Class Data infrastructure (WCDI), a critical enabler for the programme. The WCDI will leverage 30 years of investments in the internationally recognised research infrastructure provided by Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), the supercomputing centre at the University, and specifically the Advanced Computing Facility (ACF), EPCC's data centre on the outskirts of Edinburgh. WCDI represents a practical, flexible and cost-effective approach to the delivery of the diverse technological requirements of the DDI programme. WCDI will extend the ACF, which today hosts and operates many of the UK's national High-Performance Computing (HPC) and research data services. Developed since 2003, in excess of 50M GBP has been invested to date in the ACF buildings and its data centre infrastructure. It currently houses around 100M GBP of equipment including the ARCHER National HPC service and is a state-of-the-art facility. A key recent development is the addition of Computer Room 4, a 270 rack, 6MW room which will host the WCDI equipment. This WCDI IT Equipment procurement will put in place a Master Contract (Schedule 5 of ITT) to allow the University of Edinburgh, acting through EPCC, to purchase the IT equipment required to create, extend and refresh, the WCDI's data storage and compute capability. There will be an initial order placed for storage that will be written into the contract. After this initial purchase the university will continue to raise orders under the Master Contract, all of which shall be incorporated to become part of the Master Contract. The scope of what can be bought under this contract is listed below under \"Equipment Requirements\". Equipment requirements As part of the Edinburgh and SE Scotland City Region Deal a significant Capital Equipment budget has been secured to implement the World Class Data Infrastructure (WCDI). Rather than spend all of this money on the first year of the 10-year DDI Programme, the spend has been profiled across the lifetime of the programme. The rationale for this approach being EPCC's desire to build the infrastructure according to need, using a \"building block\" approach. Such Building Blocks can be further observed within the Technical Requirements of the ITT (BB1 to BB9 and Data Centre Network), but can be highlighted as: Data Storage: hot, warm & cold storage bricks and Back-up & disaster recovery; Scale-out VM compute infrastructure bricks for the private Cloud; Accelerated Compute Servers; HPC, HPDA and AI Infrastructure; Cabinets and Hosting Infrastructure; Networking and Security Emerging Technologies Software Installation and support services where requested by the University; and Data Centre Network Update. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015",
