    Brief

    The University is relocating its primary IT infrastructure from the Rosalind Franklin Data Centre (RFDC) to a new Nuffield Data Centre (NUDC), with equipment migration completing before the end of 2026. This contract ensures uninterrupted network services and connectivity during the migration period and supports the decommissioning of RFDC. Due to technical compatibility requirements with the University's existing network infrastructure, maintaining the current supplier is necessary to avoid significant costs, system incompatibilities, and operational disruptions during this critical transition. The contract value is £54,521 (excluding VAT), below the procurement threshold, allowing for direct supplier engagement without a formal competitive tender process.
