## Summary

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc. (SHET) has completed a procurement process for a cloud-based file storage and collaboration solution, specifically targeting large file management up to 50GB per file and collections exceeding 30TB. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" and is located in the UK region (UKM). The procurement method used was a "Negotiated procedure with prior call for competition." The final award went to Egnyte Inc, with the contract signed on 13th December 2024. The procurement stage has moved from tender to award, with the tender initially being active from 21st May 2024 to 21st June 2024.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced cloud-based storage solutions, particularly those capable of handling large and specialised file types such as GIS, AutoCAD, and BIM files. Companies that excel in providing high-performance, cyber-secure, and resilient data storage solutions, with proven industry connectors and excellent customer support, would be well-suited to participate in such tenders. The contract duration and potential for long-term partnership, given the complex nature of the required solution, present a golden opportunity for growth and establishing a robust market position in providing specialised cloud-storage services.

## Notice

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission Plc. ("SHET"), seeks a market leading supplier of cloud based file storage and collaboration solutions. The solution provided should be able to handle proprietary specialist file types such as Geospatial Information System (GIS), engineering design (e.g. AutoCAD), Building Information Management (BIM) and 3d laser scans, in the near term up to 50GBb individual file size and collections >30TBb, performantly and without any loss/degradation, sync error or corruption. The solution needs to provide a user interface that separates the users from directly accessing the back end storage. This user interface needs to be intuitive and provide a positive user experience. The solution will provide options to share files with internal and external collaborators which may be via login, link share or other methodologies. The solution will provide out of the box interoperability which will enable files to be surfaced (via connector/bridge/API or other methods) via cloud based SAAS applications such as Autodesk Construction Cloud, IBM Maximo, and ESRI ArcGIS, plus SharePoint and Microsoft O365. It is preferable that any connector/option has been proven in industry with similar clients. The vendor must provide a means of migrating data from legacy sources into the cloud storage. The solution should be hosted in the UK only and highly cyber-secure and resilient, and support all access control requirements. The solution should have a strong business-continuity-and-disaster-recovery offering. The provider should provide timely high quality project delivery services and excellent post implementation customer support options. Note that the SHET has confirmed through proofs of concept that generic file storage (as may be appropriate for office documents) may not be suitable for all such file types and so prospective tenderers are encouraged to carefully validate if their solution can handle such files.
