## Summary

The procurement process for the "Disk Procurement for Tier 1" project was led by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. This initiative falls under the software package and information systems industry and is currently in the award stage, with the contract awarded on 21 November 2019. The total contract value is £363,095.78, and the contract period extends from 22 November 2019 to 31 March 2020. This procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 13 November 2019.

This opportunity opens avenues for growth primarily for businesses specialising in software solutions and storage services. Companies capable of providing substantial data storage, particularly those with a focus on scalability and affordability, will find themselves well-positioned to compete effectively. Notably, those with prior experience in similar public sector contracts or capabilities to fulfil the minimum storage requirement of 7300TB would be advantageous competitors in this sector.

The value of this opportunity is between PS300,000.00 - PS500,000.00 (Excluding VAT). STFC seek to purchase as much capacity (in TB) as possible with the available funds. UKRI have a minimum requirement of 7300TB and are requesting bidders to provide a cost for additional storage.
