## Summary

The Bath and North East Somerset Council is seeking bids for the provision of IT infrastructure (server) maintenance and support. This contract, classified under the services category, involves maintaining mainframe computers and is set to commence on 16th February 2018, lasting for an initial term of 12 months with the possibility of two 12-month extensions. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 19th January 2018. The services will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom and the total contract value is £50,000, procured through an open procedure.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in IT maintenance and support services, particularly those with experience in prolonged hardware support beyond standard warranties. Businesses that are well-positioned to compete include IT service management firms, especially those not limited to small and medium enterprises or voluntary community services. Engaging in this contract could enhance a company's portfolio and support strategic growth within the public sector.

## Notice

Bath & NE Somerset Council has previously re placed its infrastructure, on a rolling basis, every 5 years. However, we are now planning to run all our assets for 7 years. To be able to support our hardware past the standard 5 years, we require an out of warrantee support solution, as 5 year warranties are purchased with each new server. The contract will initially be for a 12 month period, commencing on 16th February 2018 with the option for 2 extensions, of 12 months each. The individual date for commencement of support & maintenance is detailed against each individual line on the Assets for Contract, Appendix 3
