## Summary

The procurement process involves the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which has awarded a contract for "GLD IT - Storage." This contract falls under the category of flash memory storage devices and is situated in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a selective procedure, and the contract is currently in the active award stage. The initial contract period commenced on 21st June 2016 and will conclude on 20th June 2021, with a total value of £450,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT hardware and support services, particularly firms offering storage solutions and associated training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in providing compatible IT infrastructure and maintenance support. Companies that can demonstrate innovation in storage technologies and customer service may find this contract beneficial for their growth and expansion in the public sector market.

## Notice

GLD required two new HP 3Par flash storage arrays to replace two existing HP 3Par F400 arrays as Hewlett Packard no longer supported them from 30th November 2016. These devices have been selected as they are compatible with the existing infrastructure. In the event other storage arrays also prove to be compatible these would be considered as well. As well as the arrays, GLD required two HP C7000 Brocade fibre channel switches to replace existing hardware or compatible equivalent. In addition to the hardware requirements, the GLD also required training on the new systems to cover the differences between the IMC and SMC. The service requirements for the new equipment include 3 year base support (3 year Foundation Care 24x7 Service) plus an uplift which is to include 3 year Custom DC for Add-On 3PAR SVC to allow this to be added to our current Datacentre Care Contract.
