Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Swansea University is seeking to appoint a supplier for the provision of HP Servers & Storage.
The successful supplier will be a minimum of a HP Gold Partner due to the requirement to advise and provide design(s) for HP infrastructure solutions.
The supplier will be appointed to a three year contract, with the option to extend the contract for a further period of two years at the University’s discretion.
It is estimated that the potential total contract value over a maximum five year period would be between 0.5M and 2M GBP.
The initial requirement for this contract will be for the provision of HP Servers & Storage for the new Bay Campus IT infrastructure. This initial requirement has a maximum budget of 0.5M GBP.
The University will reserve the right to conduct separate procurements for any goods/services /works where this is an external funding condition.
Due to the implications of external funding, the supplier will be required to provide the University with separate invoices for individual Bay Campus buildings.
The University may also require the supplier to supply equipment on a staggered basis against a rolling programme as the University will not have storage on site. This programme will be agreed with the supplier(s) at a later stage.
The University will appoint the Most Economically Advantageous Tender to supply the Goods and related Services.
NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process. To obtain further information record your interest on Sell2Wales at http://www.sell2wales.gov.uk/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=21370
