## Summary

Cardiff University is seeking to expand its CLIMB COVID capacity as part of an ongoing service for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), aimed at enhancing data storage capabilities. This procurement process is classified under the goods category, specifically for computer servers (CPV code: 48822000). The tender has reached the award stage, with a contract signed on 21st July 2022. The award went to Dell, which highlights the collaborative nature of this initiative. The procurement activities took place in Cardiff, with the buying organisation encouraging interested suppliers to engage through their website for future collaboration opportunities.

This tender presents significant growth potential for businesses involved in technology and data management, particularly those specialising in server and cloud solutions. Companies that provide computer servers or similar technological products and services that can enhance data processing capabilities are well-suited to compete for future opportunities associated with this contract. The continuing enhancement of the CLIMB COVID system creates a market for suppliers who can offer innovative and scalable solutions to support public health data analysis in the UK.

## Notice

This builds on an existing service that has been provided since April 2021 to DHSC, based on an existing system (CLIMB COVID) hosted at Cardiff and Birmingham. As part of this work, there is a contractual requirement to scale up the capacity of the system that is in place to support an increase of data storage capacity, in response to sequencing and analysis of data generated across the UK.
