The Crown Commercial Service has completed a procurement process for the provision of additional data centre (DC) storage, which is part of the UK's Ministry of Defence's wider OXYGENIC programme. The contract, valued at £501,345, involves the design, supply, integration, and installation of DC storage at two MOD sites, and is classified under the industry category of goods, specifically office and computing machinery, equipment, and supplies. The award notice was published on 7th November 2017, following the tender period that ended on 20th September 2017, with the contract period running from 3rd November 2017 to 31st December 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the tech and computing equipment sectors, particularly those specialising in data storage solutions and integration services.
