Brief Description of Decision:

 

 

To award RMBC tender reference 18-096 Equipment for Data Storage to ANS Group for a 5 year term from 30th April 2019 to 29th April 2024.

 

To vary the current contract/statement of works with ANS relating to a hybrid cloud solution to take account of the award of this contract.

 

Reasons for the Decision:

 

 

 

RMBC has undertaken a further competition procurement process in accordance with the requirements within Crown Commercial Service’s Framework (CCS) Technology Products 2, Lot 1 – Technology Hardware to procure Hardware, Professional Services and Support and Maintenance for the Council’s Netapp Platform.

 

Tenders were invited from 29 organisations who have been appointed under the above framework, Lot 1 only.

 

As a result of this tender and contract award, the council no longer requires a hybrid cloud capability as previously designed and subsequently procured through G-cloud 10 and signed on 24th August 2018, with ANS as the supplier.

 

Details of Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

 

A review into the potential to use cloud services was undertaken but deemed no longer suitable at this point in time to see the wholesale removal of this storage platform.
