## About this tender

The University of Southampton wishes to procure a secure HPC cluster on behalf of the University’s Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) for work with computationally intensive acoustic and CFD codes in collaboration with Rolls-Royce. The facility will be sited in the University’s state of the art data centre in a 19” Rittal rack (usable space 42U), providing front to back cooling. A standard rack will support up to 7kW of power/cooling, without modification. The maximum power/cooling that can conveniently be supplied to an individual rack is 14kW.

Under no circumstances whatsoever will the University of Southampton be liable for or pay any expenses or costs which may be incurred (whether directly or indirectly) by the tenderer in the preparation or submission of their tender proposal.

The University of Southampton is not bound to accept the lowest offer or any tender in full or in part.

In evaluating the tender, the University will seek the most economically advantageous offers based on the evaluation criteria found in the tender documents.

Additional information: The budget for this purchase is £122,000 excluding VAT. For proposals that use between 7kw & 14kw of power we will need to allow within this budget for the purchase of extra power for two additional rack distribution units (at a total cost of £1800). Suppliers should remain within this budgetary figure for all proposed solutions.

This tender will be conducted electronically and tender documents can be downloaded from the web portal (Intend) provided earlier in this notice. [in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsouthampton](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofsouthampton).
