This procurement falls under the category of software-related services and will take place in Birmingham, West Midlands. The tender period concludes at noon on 15th March 2021, and the contract is set to commence on 1st April 2021 and run until 31st March 2023. The procurement will be managed through the Council's e-tendering system, where interested suppliers must register to participate. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those offering licensing and project management services. Companies with expertise in technical services related to software development and disaster recovery would be particularly well-suited for this contract. The ability to provide comprehensive support and maintenance for the Recovery Manager tool will enhance competitive advantage, allowing businesses to leverage their capabilities in a sector focused on improving cyber security resilience. ## Notice The Council currently has Quest Recovery Manager to support its Active Directory services. Due to increasing concerns and focus by BCC on Cyber Security Risks (i.e Ransomware) we are looking to protect critical servers such as Active Directory services. Our current version of the Quest Recovery Manager Tool does not meet our DR requirement and requires upgrading. Birmingham City Council requires a supplier to; o Provide 16,500 Perpetual Licences and maintenance for Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition. o Provide Professional Technical/Project Management services to assist in the implementation of the new Software solution DR tools. This contract will be for a period of 1 years, commencing 01/04/2021 until 31/03/2023.
