## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has recently completed a procurement process titled "HPC Archive Project," aimed at sourcing network equipment for their HPC Cloud Archive Network solution. Located in London, this procurement falls under the goods category, specifically for network equipment, with a contract value of £31,000. The tender period ended on 14th June 2017, and the contract was awarded on 20th June 2017, covering a duration from 21st June 2017 to 20th June 2018. The procurement method used was classified as "Other." 

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the technology and telecommunications sectors, particularly those specialising in network equipment and infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find suitable avenues to compete for similar contracts in the future, potentially growing their portfolio in public sector engagements. Companies that provide routers, firewalls, and related software solutions would be particularly well-aligned to pursue upcoming tenders in this domain.

## Notice

This is the equipment required for the HPC Cloud Archive Network solution. The solution is based on a Microsoft Azure Express Route circuit with public peering. The Express Route circuit has been ordered and therefore NIBSC require a router and firewall cluster procured and hosted in the comms room. Along with the hardware, licenses and software will also be required.
