This in conjunction with the increased demands from TMBC applications and systems requiring access to storage and a requirement for the provision of DR meant a review of our current infrastructure was appropriate. Demand for increased capacity on the Council's storage infrastructure will continue to rise over the coming 5 year period. This is due to new systems and functionality coming online, co-location and joint working with Health colleagues. The key objective of this tender is to provide the infrastructure required to provide adequate storage capacity for the next 5 years with the ability to implement DR. A fundamental review of our current storage infrastructure and requirements has been completed and an exercise has already been undertaken to identify the storage infrastructure required to support future demands. Consequently the council will not consider responses which propose other brands or solutions other than those identified in the tender. Please note that any queries should be raised via The Chest ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4149e108-1989-4810-942a-cb0cd9128888 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 13 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Oct 2017 - 19 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,000 | | 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 | TAMESIDE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | .ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL7 0QQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD35 Greater Manchester South East | | Local authority | Tameside | | Electoral ward | St Peter's | | Westminster constituency | Ashton-under-Lyne | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages ### Codes - 30233100 - Computer storage units ## Release History - 28 Sep 2017 at 15:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4149e108-1989-4810-942a-cb0cd9128888 - 28 Sep 2017 at 15:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4149e108-1989-4810-942a-cb0cd9128888 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4149e108-1989-4810-942a-cb0cd9128888 28th September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.tameside.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
