Opportunity overview

Thanet District Council wishes to select and appoint a suitable supplier for the provision of a replacement backup solution platform and associated hardware for the Council’s Servers, Data and Hardware and invites prospective bidders to submit a Tender to meet the Employer’s requirements.

Prompt installation is required to avoid disruption to services and to allow a smooth transition over to a new backup solution platform, enabling the Council to keep the required data in line with its backup schedule and policies. Configuration transfer and implementation support are also required to ensure seamless installation. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon July for a duration of 5 years.
