Tender description

Suppliers are invited to tender for the provision of Data Centre Co-location Services as described in the tender documents. The procurement documentation can be accessed from https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ucl/ This contract opportunity is not divided into lots. Estimated value excluding VAT: 5 200 000 GBP. This is a cancellation notice for this procurement. Due to external influences impacting the future operating capability of one of UCL's onsite data centre facilities, UCL has a requirement to relocate all IT services and hardware from their existing data centre to a data centre co-location provider from March 2017 for an 18 month contracted period. As part of a large data centre transformation programme within UCL there is a significant data centre consolidation initiative underway. This initiative coupled with a demand to provide more data centre space for customers may result in change to the day one cabinet and power requirement outlined in this tender. UCL wishes to appoint a Supplier to provide a data centre space and the related services (power, cooling, connectivity and physical security) necessary to house and provide an operating environment for physical computing infrastructure subject to maximum separation requirements from UCLs primary location in Bloomsbury.
