The OGP has extended the current Multi Supplier Framework Agreement for the Supply of Storage Area Networks (SAN), Network Attached Storage (NAS), servers, converged infrastructure, associated equipment and services to allow public service bodies to continue to procure compute and storage devices until a new framework is put in place.
The Storage Area Networks (SAN), Network Attached Storage (NAS), servers, converged infrastructure, associated equipment and services framework expired on 28 April 2020. The framework is extended until 31 October 2020. The value of the framework extension is EUR 3 625 000.
The storage area networks, network attached storage, servers, converged infrastructure, associated equipment and services framework expired on 28 April 2020.
The Covid-19 pandemic seriously impacted day-to-day business operations for all organisations including the OGP.
As a result, the process (which is currently underway) to establish a replacement framework for compute and storage infrastructure devices, software and associated services was delayed. The OGP extended the current Storage Area Networks (SAN), Network Attached Storage (NAS), servers, converged infrastructure, associated equipment and services framework to allow public service bodies to continue to procure compute and storage devices and associated services under the framework until a new framework is put in place. The procurement process for the new framework has completed evaluation stage and is expected to be established in early November 2020.
