This initiative falls under the industry category of Computer back-up services, with a total contract value of £80,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period for submissions will close on 21 December 2017. The service aims to provide a secure, automated backup solution for school data to ensure compliance with government regulations. The contract is set to commence on 1 February 2018 and will run until 31 March 2019, covering multiple delivery addresses across the United Kingdom and beyond. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data storage and backup services. Companies that offer automated, secure data management solutions, particularly those with experience serving educational institutions, would be well-positioned to compete. With the requirement for compliance with government legislation, firms that can demonstrate robust security practices and previous successful implementations in similar contexts will likely have an advantage in securing this contract. ## Notice Warrington Borough Council's ICT Service for Schools requires a fully automated, secure, remote backup and recovery service to protect Warrington's schools data, storing it off-site daily to comply with government legislation. The service shall backup and restore schools administration and curriculum data, and data held in the latest supported versions of Capita SIMS and FMS systems. It is the Council's intention for all schools who receive the current remote backup service for schools to migrate and transition to the service. However, the Council does not guarantee that all schools will participate or that participating schools will take up the service for the duration of the contract. The Council will look to select the Provider offering the best value service based on price and the response to the specification available to those Providers who register and express an interest on the Chest (www.the-chest.org.uk). To ensure that everything is logged and audited, only correspondence, questions and clarifications raised in the Chest will be addressed by the Council. The Council will not respond to any e-mails, letters or telephone calls regarding this opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a797651-1014-42cd-860d-aef1f99f99bf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 21 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WARRINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | WARRINGTON | | Post town | Warrington | | Postcode | WA1 2NH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD61 Warrington | | Local authority | Warrington | | Electoral ward | Bewsey and Whitecross | | Westminster constituency | Warrington South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72910000 - Computer back-up services ## Release History - 23 Nov 2017 at 15:51 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a797651-1014-42cd-860d-aef1f99f99bf - 23 Nov 2017 at 15:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a797651-1014-42cd-860d-aef1f99f99bf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a797651-1014-42cd-860d-aef1f99f99bf 23rd November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.warrington.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
