Section VI: Summary of Requirements / Description of Work
Summary of Requirements / Description of Work: Information technology services. The UK Ministry of Defence has a requirement to provide a mission critical, highly secure, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), hosted within MOD data centres, with the option for small deployable nodes. The supplier will need to provide a rich IaaS service including community and private clouds, dedicated compute and dedicated storage services together with provision of new and take-on of existing data centre networks.

The services are expected to be procured over a number of phases. The initial phase, likely to last from contract award to March 2020 is estimated to have a value placing it in Category E1 (£4.5M to 10M), but the later phases, to be procured via agreed priced Options, are likely to take the total value to Category D (£10M to £20M). Optional priced capacity extensions may inflate this by a further 50%.

Please note that the dates provided above for the tender exercise are indicative only. Contract award will be subject to funding and approvals. The optional extensions of time or capacity will be at the discretion of the Authority and shall be exercisable upon written notification by the Authority on terms stated in the Invitation to Tender.

This Contract will be for an initial period to March 2020 which following anticipated approvals will be increased to a term of thirty six (36) months with two (2) twelve (12) month extension options.
