## Summary

The procurement process for the "iCAIRD and HDRUK Storage" project is led by the University of Edinburgh, which is classified under the education sector. The contract aims to establish a petascale storage system, which will be integral for high-performance file system software for the storage of health-related data. This procurement was initiated through an open procedure, and it has successfully completed its tender stage, with a total contract value of £610,000. Key dates include the award date on 15 February 2019, and the delivery location is set at the EPCC, ACF Building, Bush Estate, Penicuik, EH26 0QA, UK. The buyer is actively involved in reviewing the procurement as they also fulfil the role of the review body.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data storage solutions, particularly those with expertise in high-performance computing systems such as BeeGFS, Ceph, or Lustre. Companies that can deliver large-scale technological products and are capable of meeting stringent health data storage requirements will find this contract appealing. Given that the award process included eight bids, there is a competitive landscape; however, firms with a track record in public tenders and robust solutions for educational or health sectors could effectively compete and potentially win future contracts.
