## Summary

The Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) is currently conducting a procurement process for the "Servers Storage Solutions National Agreement," which falls under the goods category within the data-processing machines industry. The tender, initiated as a framework agreement, is located in the UK and has been active since its signing on 1st December 2016. The current contract period is set to run until 30th April 2021, with an extension planned, reflecting the necessity brought about by unforeseen circumstances related to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for both large-scale and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the IT and technology sector, particularly those specialising in data-processing hardware, storage solutions, and associated software services.
