What is being bought

Published requirement description

Flintshire County Council does not have enough storage space within its offices to store the authority’s records. Therefore, off site storage is required. The offsite storage needs to be secure due to the nature of the records that we archive and we need to have a compliant and confidential service to cover storage, transportation and retrieval.

Flintshire also wish to implement a Scan on Demand facility during the duration of this contract with the successful supplier.

This requirement has now been awarded.

  • Recurrence: The initial contract term will be for 5 years with the option to extend. Any notices will be published ahead of contract end or ahead of extension end dates. The exact dates are not currently available.
