Provision of Data Centre Hosting Services and Ancillary Services to Eriva
Ervia seeks to engage a single Data Centre Hosting Provider for the delivery of a suite of SLA-governed data hosting services using the ITIL (or an independently validated equivalent) framework and ISO20000 (or equivalent) standard for modern data centre facilities management. For business operational reasons the data centre locations for Ervia for both production sites should be located on the island of Ireland. In particular it will be important to Ervia that its staff working from its offices in Dublin and Cork will be able to physically access the data centres quickly, easily and at short notice if required.
The contract for the provision of IT Data Centre Hosting Services will be for an initial term of 5 years with an option for Ervia to extend for a further period of up to 2 years. It will be subject to early termination rights which will be provided for in the contract. It is expected that the contract to be awarded will cover a range of IT services for all Ervia business divisions. The IT services required shall include but are not limited to;
— Primary Production Tier3 Data Centre facility hosting a minimum of 17 racks with a potential uplift of 100 %;
— Secondary Production Tier3 Data Centre facility hosting a minimum of 13 racks with a potential uplift of 100 %;
— Media Management Services;
— Remote Hands and Eyes Support;
— Fibre and Ethernet Interconnectivity services between data centres;
— Point of Presence on Government Network;
— Service Management and Reporting;
— Transition Services from existing Data Centre provider to new provider.
