    Brief

    The University seeks a framework agreement for ongoing procurement of IT infrastructure hardware and solutions to support critical operations and business continuity. Required equipment includes: high-performance compute systems (servers, GPUs), backup and storage solutions, network and security equipment, and physical data centre infrastructure (UPS, power distribution units, optical components, and racking systems). The framework will enable the University to respond quickly to evolving infrastructure needs while managing significant market challenges including volatile pricing, supply chain disruptions, extended lead times, and the need to maintain service continuity during compressed deployment timescales. Suppliers selected for this framework will have pre-established commercial terms and be positioned for regular call-off orders as the University's infrastructure requirements evolve.
