## Summary

The GMC is seeking tenders for the procurement of SAN Equipment to enhance its existing HP3PAR 7400 Storage Area Network solution, necessitated by the relocation of services to Manchester. This procurement is classified under 'Information systems and servers' and is valued at £56,000. The tender was conducted using an open procurement method, with the tender period having ended on 11 November 2016. The awarded contract commenced on 24 November 2016 and is scheduled to conclude on 23 November 2017, with the project taking place in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in information technology and storage solutions. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in providing scalable storage systems and related infrastructures will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Engaging in this tender process allows SMEs to expand their portfolio while leveraging the GMC's commitment to enhancing their data capacity and capabilities.

## Notice

The GMC currently has a HP3PAR 7400 Storage Area Network solution in place. Capacity planning has shown that additional provision is required in order to support the growth needs of the business including the relocation of services from the GMC London data centre to the GMC Manchester data centre. As such we are inviting tenders from suppliers who can meet this additional capacity requirement.
