Description

Due to external influences impacting the future operating capability of one of UCL's onsite data centre facilities, UCL has a requirement to relocate all IT services and hardware from their existing data centre to a data centre co-location provider from March 2017 for an 18 month contracted period.

As part of a large data centre transformation programme within UCL there is a significant data centre consolidation initiative underway. This initiative coupled with a demand to provide more data centre space for customers may result in change to the day one cabinet and power requirement outlined in this tender.

UCL wishes to appoint a Supplier to provide a data centre space and the related services (power, cooling, connectivity and physical security) necessary to house and provide an operating environment for physical computing infrastructure subject to maximum separation requirements from UCLs primary location in Bloomsbury.

UCL requires the Supplier to provision diversely routed, resilient dark fibre optical connections from UCLs primary location (WC1E 6BS) to the Suppliers data centre facility either directly through the Suppliers own carrier network or via a third party telecommunications network. The optical power return loss between these two locations must be no greater than 20dB over a maximum physical distance of 10km. UCL requires the data centre facility services and connectivity to be available to ensure the migration of services can commence no later than June 2017.
