Description

UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS Ltd) on behalf of The Hartree Centre of the Science & Technologies Facilities Council is looking to procure a compute cluster and its associated software and services (Snowdonia Project). The cluster must be a flexible, robust, multi-purpose platform that can efficiently manage the changing workload of the Hartree Centre as we move from predominately HPC based work to a more balanced portfolio of HPC, HPDA, Big Data and machine learning. Delivery and installation of the island is required by the 1st of March 2017, with acceptance tests being completed by the 31st of March 2017.

UK Shared Business Services Ltd (UK SBS) brings a
commercial attitude to the public sector; helping our
customers improve efficiency, generate savings and
modernise.

It is our vision to become the leading provider for our
customers of shared business services in the UK
public sector, continuously reducing cost and
improving quality of business services for Government
and the public sector.
Our broad range of expert services is shared by our
customers. This allows our customers the freedom to
focus resources on core activities; innovating and
transforming their own organisations.
Core services include Procurement, Finance, Human
Resources, Payroll, ISS, and Property Asset
Management all underpinned by our Service Delivery
and Contact Centre teams.

UK SBS is a people rather than task focused
business. It's what makes us different to the traditional
transactional shared services centre. What is more,
being a not-for-profit organisation owned by its
customers, UK SBS' goals are aligned with the public
sector and delivering best value for the UK taxpayer.
