Scope of Supply The supplier will be expected to: • Propose the most appropriate interim server solution (hardware, configuration, and licensing) that meets St Basils' 1-3 year needs. • Balance resilience and performance with cost-effectiveness, recognising this is not a permanent, large-scale data centre investment. • Ensure the solution can reliably host premises-managed applications such as QL housing management and other dependent SQL-based systems. • Include options for limited resilience (e.g., RAID storage, dual power, or simplified HA if cost-effective). • Provide all required operating system and database licences. • Deliver, install, and configure to industry best practice (performance, resilience, and security). • Provide knowledge transfer and documentation to the St Basils ICT team. • Offer 3- to 5-year support and maintenance, recognising hardware may be retired earlier. Reference Systems The interim server must support and/or integrate with St Basils current applications and core systems. Key Requirements Suppliers should explain how their solution will: • Performance: Run current workloads reliably for 1-3 years. • Resilience: Provide core redundancy (power, RAID storage) but without over-investment in complex clustering. • Security: Include TPM 2.0, encryption, secure boot, and baseline hardening (Desirable). • Networking: Work with current infrastructure (1/10 Gb copper switching). • Backup/DR: Integrate with Datto/Veeam, support immutable offsite copies (cloud or equivalent). • Compliance: Support GDPR, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO27001/27002 alignment. • Support: Provide warranty/support cover even if hardware is retired early. • Sustainability: Be energy efficient and align with St Basil's' Net Zero and sustainability strategy. Deliverables • Fully commissioned and documented interim server solution. • Licensing, warranty, and support agreements. • Handover to ICT staff with training/knowledge transfer. • Backup/restore test to evidence capability. Supplier Response Suppliers should include: • Proposed interim solution and rationale (with options, if available). • How the design balances performance, resilience, and cost for a 1-3 year horizon. • Implementation plan and timescales. • Total cost of ownership (hardware, software, licensing, support). • Warranty/support proposals that allow early retirem... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/provision-of-interim-enterprise-server-infrastructure-1-3-year-horizon-ocds-h6vhtk-067c47) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 30200000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** 1 (active) - Supplier(s): **Intercity Technology Ltd** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-142868` - Value: £77,224 † (exc.
