Data storage services

Tender description

UCL is conducting a soft market testing exercise to obtain information on a Research Data Repository Solution to inform a future possible procurement, although it does not guarantee to carry out a procurement exercise in the future. UCL wishes to implement a central repository solution into which our researchers can deposit non-sensitive data outputs, along with descriptive metadata, for long-term storage and access. If you require further information register your interest on Intend and download the information pack with project reference UCL-PROC-491 using this link:https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ucl/ . All correspondence should be sent via the Intend system. The closing date for responses to the request for information is noon 31.7.2017. UCL currently has a Research Data Storage solution which stores data for active research projects, but lacks an effective mechanism for data preservation, discovery, and access beyond the length of the research project. It is intended that the research data repository solution will be integrated with the existing Research Data Storage Solution and with UCL network infrastructure. UCL would like to work with repository solution providers / integrators to develop a robust central research data repository solution that will meet UCL's requirement outlined in the Response Document section of the RFI. The document can be accessed via our Intend system using this link:https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ucl/
