## Summary

The Victoria and Albert Museum is looking for a Storage Area Network solution to replace their current one, which is set to be end of life by December 2024. The contract, valued at £450,000 GBP, has an open procurement method with a tender deadline of January 31, 2024. The contract period is from December 2, 2024, to December 1, 2029, and the delivery address is in London, United Kingdom.

This tender opportunity by the Victoria and Albert Museum for Storage Area Network services is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses in the data storage services industry, particularly those with expertise in SAN solutions, are well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
