IT Infrastructure hardware and solutions
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Office & Computing Equipment — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 8,857 valued Office & Computing Equipment tenders in our corpus.
CARDIFF UNIVERSITY has published 3 Office & Computing Equipment notices, about every 25 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around June 2028.
The University has ongoing requirements for a broad range of IT infrastructure equipment to support its operational, strategic and business continuity objectives including high performance Compute (Servers, GPUs), Backup/Storage, Network/Security and associated physical data centre infrastructure (UPS, PDUS, Optics, Racking).
The University is dealing with significant market challenges associated with: • Volatile market pricing. • Component supply chain fluctuations. • Extended lead times for critical infrastructure equipment. • The need to maintain continuity of service and operational resilience. • The need to deploy infrastructure solutions within compressed timescales.
To mitigate these challenges, the University is considering publishing a single source framework to enable us to respond with agility and "call-off" from a framework with pre-established commercial terms.
