Purchase of Trust Server and Backup Infrastructure for North East Learning Trust

About

North East Learning Trust awarded a contract to TGC Computers LTD for the purchase of trust server and backup infrastructure.

The project aimed to deliver a cost-effective, specifically sized solution per site, with local resources operating independently of the wider topology.

The system was to balance cost and risk, offering optional high availability, instant recovery, and failover/failback.

It needed to be easily manageable by geographically diverse staff using Role-Based Access Control, with health reporting and alerting for simple remediation.

To save on backup costs, the solution was preferred to protect itself locally and synchronize with a peer at another remote site via existing site-to-site links (100Mbps minimum).

Specific sizing could be done post-award, but respondents had to demonstrate that general and specific requirements could be met.

A per-site and global implementation schedule showing key milestones such as installation, migration, and cessation was required.

The contract value was AUD 475,235.63.
