Description

The Agency is looking for a partner who can provide a holistic strategy covering all the different types of data and applications in use across the MHRA. The Agency has data that must be highly available and easy to restore quickly, and data that is very unlikely to be needed regularly but must be retained as a historical record. Our partner and solution must be capable of handling both, and everything in between. For ease of management, the Agency would like a single pane of glass spanning all of the backup and archive arrangements. Those arrangements should be tailored to the data they support, so they can be cost effective and efficient for each scenario. MHRA is not looking for multiple solutions though, as there is a preference to consolidate technologies as far as possible. The highest scoring proposal will be one which is able to cover all data types with one or the fewest different solutions. The Agency also expects a hybrid solution that makes the most of the Cloud without a wholesale commitment to expensive storage that is environmentally unfriendly.

Renewal Options

Two annual options for the Agency to extend the Contract Term by twelve months. If both Options are exercised, this will mean an estimated Contract End Date of 20/10/2030.
