The envisaged term of the Co-Location Facilities contract is to run for an initial term of 5 years, with an option to extend by a further period, or periods, up to 10 years (15 years total).

Scope of services to be provided under the contract includes:

  • Data Centre Facilities;
  • Full control of the environment;
  • Power Requirements / Configuration;
  • Site Security;
  • Smart/Intelligent Hands;
  • Network Services;

The Supplier Day will take place in London on 5th September - the morning will focus on the co-location facility scope and tender. During the afternoon session, the team will focus on hardware and hyper-converged solutions.  Suppliers will be able to speak with Southern during open floor sessions - Southern Water’s Commercial and Legal teams will be present to ask questions.
