## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, which has awarded a contract for "UK SBS DDaT19024 New Main Disk Arrays CEH" in the media storage and reader devices category. This contract, valued at £208,768, is a selective tender awarded on 5th March 2019, following a contractual period that commenced on the same date and will conclude on 5th March 2020. The delivery will occur across four sites in the UK: Wallingford, Bangor, Lancaster, and Edinburgh. This award was made under the LUPC Servers, Storage and Solutions National Agreement framework.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in storage solutions and relevant technologies, particularly those that can align with existing systems like GPFS. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the procurement structure supports their participation. Businesses with capabilities in providing Storage Area Networks or media storage devices will find this contract particularly appealing, as it involves the supply of storage shelves and expansion shelves tailored for existing infrastructure.

## Notice

***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION*** UK Research and Innovation-CEH have a requirement for a Storage Area Network which at least matches the current set-up in size and speeds. Eventually the old storage shelves will be retired and this new storage will need to work alongside this, under the management of GPFS until that point. GPFS is already in place, so this is only for the storage shelves and expansion shelves, disks and any other parts required to slot this new storage into the existing set- up, across four sites in the UK (Wallingford, Bangor, Lancaster and Edinburgh). The Contract was awarded via further competition under LUPC Servers, Storage and Solutions National Agreement (SSSNA) framework agreement.
