## Summary

The Luminate Education Group, specifically Leeds City College, is seeking to procure HPE Apollo server infrastructure as part of an active tender process. This procurement falls under the category of data equipment and is being conducted through an open procedure due to its classification as a below-threshold contract. The tender period is set to close on 16th July 2021, with contract performance expected to commence on 30th July 2021 and conclude by 31st July 2021. Interested suppliers must submit their electronic tenders to meet the requirement for a minimum of five years of warranty and support.

## Notice

Luminate Education Group ('the College') is looking to purchase additional HPE 'Apollo' server infrastructure. This infrastructure is to operate alongside its current (managed) server estate therefore alternative manufacturers' equipment or solutions will not be accepted. Please note - Both warranty and support are to run for a minimum of 5 years. Tenders will be assessed primarily according to total price, but we will take into consideration the reseller's level of support and partnership with the original equipment manufacturer.
