## Summary

The Server Rack Transfer Project, initiated by Solent University, involves the provision of data centre hosting services within the services industry, specifically classified under data services (CPV 72300000). The award was made on 8th November 2021, and while the contract has been concluded, it may be extended beyond the initial three-year term, lasting until 30th November 2024. The project had a contract value estimated at £50,000, awarded through a selective procurement method as a call-off from the JISC Shared Data Centre Framework agreement. The relevant work is to be performed in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The initial tender period ended on 20th October 2021.

This procurement opportunity presents significant possibilities for businesses focused on data centre services and IT-related solutions, particularly those that can provide additional racks, electricity services, and other ancillary services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in data hosting and related technology services would be well-suited to engage in similar contracts, given the strategy of extending and modifying service levels that could arise throughout the contract's duration.
