## Summary

The procurement process titled "Infoblox DDI Upgrade" was conducted by Nottingham Trent University, located in Nottingham, England. This project falls under the software package and information systems industry category and was dealt with using a selective procurement method, via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 4th January 2021, and the awarded contract started on 2nd February 2021, with a total value of £140,000, lasting until 1st February 2024.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses focused on providing resilient IT solutions, particularly in software and information systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) could find this opportunity particularly suitable, as the procurement specifies a welcoming approach for these types of organisations. Engaging in this project could enhance a firm's visibility and reputation in the higher education sector while leveraging their expertise in DNS, DHCP, and IPAM systems.

## Notice

Nottingham Trent University has approximately 30,000 students and 4,000 staff spread across three campuses; City, Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses. The NTU network relies on the Infoblox DNS, DHCP, IPAM (DDI) platform/system to provide these critical services in order that clients can communicate with other machines and services connected to the NTU IT Network and servers, clients, and services can be found by their names. The service Infoblox delivers demands the network is resilient and able to continue to provide services with minimal disruption should an equipment of circuit failure occur. The solution as implemented provides resilience, with the City based Infoblox being the primary DDI system (Grid Master), Clifton being the 'failover' DDI system (Grid Master Candidate) and Brackenhurst having its own dedicated DHCP appliance.
