Disaster Recovery Services - Background Ofwat’s current IT DR contract is up for renewal on 3rd May 2016. At present all ICT is provisioned from our Birmingham premises via our onsite ICT systems, with high speed point to point communications to our London satellite office, and the IT DR arrangements consist of a schedule of equipment being delivered to an alternate location, normally our London office, and assistance with the restoration of data and ICT services from that location. As an initial requirement we would look to have and similar arrangement in place as of 3rd May. Going forward it is intended that most of these systems will be moving to the cloud as either SaaS, PaaS or IaaS. During this transition we require a supplier of IT DR services to work with us on this, to continue to provide DR for our current Hardware based infrastructure, and to advise us on best practice and guidance on how, when transitioning to cloud based services we incorporate DR into the new estate all within a model of minimal disruption and minimal risk to Ofwats business, and to ensure that effective DR arrangements are in place at all stages of the transition to Cloud Based services. We would also like to include in the contract addition value added services detailed in the scope below. Ofwat operates from two locations: a) Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham, B5 4UA; and b) Ofwat London Office, 21 Bloomsbury Street, London WC1B 3HF Scope Within the scope of the IT Disaster Recovery (DR) contract we require the following. DR Services to cover our current Hardware based ICT services. Costed option for Daily collection / delivery and secure storage of backup tapes, on an agreed rotation basis, from our Birmingham office with 24/7 access to any stored tapes. As services are transitioned to the cloud, provision of backup services (e.g. cloud to cloud ) to maintain our current secure robust backup services. Details of data amounts to be discussed / decided as transitioning progresses. We are at present performing a review of our current compute consumption with early indications showing that we can consolidate our infrastructure as part of the cloud migration. During critical periods within our business cycle we are looking to be able to resume our ICT capability with an RTO of ½ day, this we understand is not possible with our current configuration (and onsite server delivery model of IT DR), but is an aim for the future once in the cloud. We are still in the process of determining our RPO. In order to ensure the security of Ofwats information and it’s systems it is required that all suppliers must hold ISO 27000/1 accreditation and be able to demonstrate compliance. It is also required that suppliers must be ISO 22301 accredited, be able to demonstrate compliance and be able to inform Ofwat of best practice to support our Business Continuity activities.

Prior Information Notice - The appointment of an IT service provider(s) to deliver the University of Manchester's Phased Sourcing strategy. - Background The University of Manchester has recently announced a new IT Services “Phased Sourcing” strategy, under which the University intends to increasingly fulfil new IT requirements using solutions supplied by third parties and delivered “as a service”, rather than building and running solutions in house. The University has recently reviewed its existing IT estate and has defined an IT Strategic Plan intended to replace and modernise systems to ensure that the University’s IT services remain in step with the anticipated needs of students and staff. Execution of the IT strategic plan will require an estimated investment of between £50m and £150m spend over the coming three to five years. Objective The University is now looking to adopt a new IT delivery model, whereby it will contract with a third party IT provider (or potentially more than one provider) capable of delivering the bulk of the anticipated IT Strategic Plan over the years ahead. The selected IT provider(s) will be engaged on the basis of a University of Manchester specific framework agreement. Under this model, the intention is that the University would always retain the right to select other providers for specific technical requirements or in the event that the chosen IT provider(s) does not provide a compelling commercial or service delivery capability. The model is intended to provide the following benefits to the University: - Ready access to the levels of specialist skills and resources needed to deliver the anticipated level of new IT services in the years ahead - Greater integration between new IT services - A simplified approach to the integration of new services with existing University infrastructure - Greater value for money through leveraging the University’s buying power - Access to industry leading best practice and innovation - Greater levels of certainty that new projects and services will be delivered on time, to budget and to agreed service levels
