## Summary

NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit (Hosted by NHS England) has completed the tender for North East Data Centre Hosting Primary (SBS24-145) in the industry category of Network Servers. This procurement involved sourcing a North East based tier-3 data centre to provide serviced rackspace hosting for NECS’ existing on-premises infrastructure. The scope includes services such as physical security, power, air conditioning, UPS, and environmental monitoring, with 24/7 access as needed and a fixed price for the contract duration.

This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses involved in managed rackspace and data centre services, particularly those able to offer comprehensive, secure, and environmentally monitored IT infrastructure solutions. However, it is more suited to larger enterprises rather than SMEs or VCSEs, as indicated by the suitability criteria. The awarded contract, valued at £155,263.10, has been secured by I.T.
