Interested parties can provide insights to help the council understand future costs and make informed decisions. The tender, with an end date of 10th March 2023, falls under the industry category of Data services and storage services, located in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. This opportunity to participate in the tender process is beneficial for businesses offering data services and storage solutions. Companies with expertise in implementing and managing co-location data centres are well-suited to compete. The procurement stage is currently active, with key dates being the tender end date on 10th March 2023 and the contract period starting from 1st November 2023 to 31st October 2024. ## Notice Portsmouth City Council (PCC) is undertaking a programme to upgrade the ageing server and storage infrastructure in its on-premise data centre, and one possibility the council is considering is to relocate to a remote co-location data centre, and thereby relinquish the need to maintain its own ageing data centre. However, to make this decision the council requires further clarity on the costs for implementing and paying for a co-located data centre. We recognise the experience and innovation that suppliers can bring to these services. As such PCC would welcome your organisation's market information, which will be used to enable PCC to understand their future costs and thereby drive a decision.
