02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
The UK AI Research Resource (AIRR) lacks a national facility for long-term storage of critical AI datasets when they are not actively processed. The requirement is to establish a secure, scalable, and sovereign data storage solution that integrates with existing compute resources (Isambard-AI and Isambard 3), supports compliance with cybersecurity standards, and enables future expansion to meet growing research and collaboration needs.
