## Summary

The MINISTRY OF DEFENCE has successfully completed a tender process for a project titled "DBS Backup Solution," which falls under the software package and information systems category. This procurement, valued at £349,985.18, aimed to enhance data backup services across three sites: Cheadle Hulme, Abbey Wood, and Walker House. The procurement method utilised was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period concluded on 8 March 2021. The contract commenced on 1 April 2021 and is set to run until 31 March 2022.

This procurement opportunity could provide significant business growth for companies specialising in data management solutions, particularly those offering innovative backup systems that can operate off-site. Suppliers with experience in government contracts, especially those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), may find this to be an accessible opportunity, given the contract's focus on enhancing the operational capabilities of the Defence Business Services.

## Notice

DBS (Defence Business Services) need to update the back-up of their systems moving from a tape-based library system where tapes are taken off site manually, to a system that provides off-site back-up across three of the DBS sites. This purchase will be used for the back-up and recovery of systems across the Authority's estate (Cheadle Hulme, Abbey Wood and Walker House).
