Description

The British Council are looking to procure approximately 90 servers for a server refresh. We are looking for a global provider of business grade equipment, capable of delivering to British Council offices worldwide. It is anticipated that the contract will run for 12 months, but maybe extended by a further 2 x 12 month periods, to a maximum total of 36 months. Call-off of the indicative volume of 90 units will take place early in year one. Year two and three volumes are not yet known, but likely to be limited to small purchase covering break downs or small upgrades.
