Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe University seeks a framework agreement for a wide range of IT infrastructure equipment supporting its operational, strategic and business continuity objectives. The scope covers high performance compute such as servers and GPUs, backup and storage, network and security equipment, and associated physical data centre infrastructure including UPS units, PDUs, optics and racking. The University cites volatile pricing, supply chain fluctuations, extended lead times, the need to maintain service continuity and compressed deployment timescales. It therefore plans a single source framework allowing call-offs with pre-established commercial terms, enabling agile responses to evolving requirements.
