The procurement process involves the University of York, which has initiated a tender titled "Expansion of a High Speed Data Storage System" within the data storage services industry. This procurement took place in York, England, and is notably at the Award stage. The contract, valued at £100,000, has a duration starting from 24th May 2018 and concluding on 27th July 2018. The tender period ended on 23rd May 2018, and it was conducted through a direct procurement method as a single tender action below threshold.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in data storage solutions and technological services, particularly those capable of expanding data storage capacities. Companies with expertise in high-speed data management systems and those offering innovative data solutions would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature, potentially enabling them to forge significant partnerships with institutions like the University of York.

## Notice

Expansion in size of TFTV's high speed data storage system from Pixit Media. Currently at approximately 120TB in size, higher resolution video and greater numbers of UG students mean that the system as it stands is being used to near full capacity. A four-fold increase in size will provide an appropriate increase in capability, allowing us to use our acquisition systems more effectively and keep in line with industry workflows.
