## Summary

Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust commissioned the phased relocation of 36 data-centre devices, occupying 60U, from Brighton General Hospital and Crawley Hospital to ARK Data Centres at Cody Park. The work covers de-racking the equipment, protected transport and re-racking at the destination. This is a specialist IT infrastructure relocation service, rather than a purchase of hardware. The named starting sites are the two hospitals; Cody Park is the receiving site. The requirement is focused on moving a defined quantity of operational data-centre equipment between healthcare facilities and a commercial data-centre destination.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sunspeed Solutions Ltd on 5 October 2026. The contract period runs from 5 October to 31 December 2026. Its awarded value is £10,115. Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust used a direct, single-tender procedure below the applicable threshold. The earlier submission deadline was 1 October 2026 at 12:00. This was a single requirement rather than a lot-based competition. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be characterised further.

The award provides evidence that Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust buys specialist, carefully controlled data-centre relocation services, in this case moving 36 devices and 60U across two hospital sites to a data-centre facility. Suppliers competing for comparable work from this buyer would need to demonstrate the practical ability to plan phased de-racking and re-racking, protect sensitive equipment in transit, and coordinate a secure move between healthcare premises and a data-centre destination. Credibility would depend on handling the specified equipment volume reliably and delivering the full relocation, rather than transport alone. The procurement was handled through a single-tender direct route, so the selected supplier's capability met a focused requirement; the published details do not establish particular accreditations or formal experience thresholds.
