## Summary

The University of Leeds is seeking consultancy services for the JASMIN Storage Planning & Benchmarking project, with a contract value of £100,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender deadline of 4th November 2022. The contract period is scheduled to start on 5th December 2022 and end on 31st March 2023. The project falls under the 'Services' category and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in systems and technical consultancy services to bid for the JASMIN Storage Planning & Benchmarking project. Businesses interested in providing expert advice on storage tiering strategies and technologies are encouraged to apply. The University of Leeds, the contracting authority, will consider bids for either Lot 1 (Storage Planning) or Lot 2 (Storage Benchmarking), with separate awards for each lot. The project aims to secure access to expertise for evaluating storage options within JASMIN for both short and long terms.

## Notice

2.The major objective of this action is to secure access to the necessary expertise to enable a robust evaluation of options for the future storage within JASMIN. This includes both the definition of the overall storage tiering strategy suitable for the longer term, and the identification and evaluation of plausible candidate technologies for the replacement and upgrade of the storage tiers in the shorter term. The current storage tiers are described in the appendix, together with key questions that will need to be answered in the course of the consultancy. Note that there is no supposition that the existing tiering strategy needs changing or that it should remain unchanged (although any plans for technology change must address data migration). This action is about ensuring that any decisions about the strategy and technology can be made based on sound advice on value for money and fitness for purpose. Additional information: The tender is split into 2 lots - Lot 1 JASMIN Storage Planning, Lot 2 JASMIN Storage Benchmarking. Bidders may submit bids for 1 or both lots. If submitting bids for both Lots, 2 separate bids must be submitted. Contracts for each Lot will be awarded separately, however the University may award both Lots to the same Bidder.
