## Summary

The tender for "SAN Storage Consolidation" was initiated by the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA), located in Swansea, England. This procurement falls within the IT services industry category and was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 19 December 2017, with a total value of £1,245,756.07, and it covers a period from 19 December 2017 to 18 December 2022. The tender process has recently concluded as of 30 November 2020, and was primarily aimed at renewing support and maintenance for an EMC VNX storage array.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the IT services sector.

The consolidation of storage requirements and upgrades to new technologies can lead to enhanced operational efficiencies, highlighting the importance of innovative service providers ready to adapt to evolving technological landscapes.

## Notice

Renewal of the support and maintenance for EMC VNX storage array. This contract consolidates our storage requirements. To achieve this we will upgrade our existing storage sub system across all environments replacing it with 2 x Unity machines. By implementing Unity we will be able to remove IBM SVC which will lead to substantial savings on our IBM ELA agreement.
