## Summary

The procurement process involves Manchester City Council seeking to replace its aging data infrastructure under the title "TC936 - Nutanix Infrastructure." This contract, valued at £2,258,955, falls within the industry category of Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies. The tender was awarded on 7th December 2017 following a competition against the Crown Commercial Services framework Technology Products 2 Lot 3. The contract period is set to commence on 25th January 2018 and conclude on 24th January 2023, with the tender period having ended on 18th September 2017.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in data centre solutions and cloud infrastructure, particularly those aligned with the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for similar contracts, especially those with expertise in virtualisation technologies like VMware ESXi. As Manchester City Council transitions to resilient disaster recovery infrastructures, businesses can position themselves as providers of innovative solutions in the evolving tech landscape.

## Notice

Manchester City Council's Data Centre Strategy defines the migration from the existing single data centre to two new co-location facilities providing a robust and resilient disaster recovery solution to meet specified business RPO and RTO across a range of services and applications. The Council's existing core infrastructure (storage, compute and backup) hardware and software is reaching end of life. The Council therefore has a requirement to replace existing storage, compute and backup systems with new solutions. Around 95% of current workloads are virtualised using VMware ESXi. The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform has been identified as the technology of choice in order to replace existing storage and compute hardware underpinning this virtualisation environment. The Council has a number of workloads that will not be migrated to the Nutanix solution (Oracle Solaris based systems and File Shares) that consume legacy SAN storage. Replacing this SAN storage is out of scope of this tender and will form part of a separate tender. Additionally replacing existing Council data backup and recovery systems are out of scope of this tender and will also form part of a separate tender. Additional information: Awarded following a further competition against Crown Commercial Services (CCS) framework Technology Products 2 Lot 3
