Description

Gateshead Council is approaching the market to get information in regard to renewing its contract for its Storage Area Network (SAN) Hardware, Software and Support which is due to expire on 30 September 2024. It is the Council's intention to investigate refreshing its current HPe system with a fit-for-purpose HPe replacement that will provide an effective and efficient solution, whilst reducing the total cost of ownership and generate a demonstrable return on investment.
The Council is publishing a market engagement questionnaire for suppliers to complete and return and are also offering a limited number of one-to-one slots.
