APPOINTMENT OF A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE PROVISION OF THE OFF-SITE BACKUP TAPES STORAGE SERVICES FOR SIXTY (60) MONTHS

The Cross-Border Road Transport Agency is looking for a contractor to keep its backup tapes at a location away from its own premises, under an arrangement that runs for sixty months. The requirement is classed as a service and is being competed through an open tender. Only the headline of the requirement is available. The material does not say how many tapes are involved, whether existing media must be collected and moved, what turnaround the agency expects when it needs a tape returned, what security or environmental conditions the storage site must satisfy, or how the inventory is to be indexed and reported on. It also does not set out what a bidder must submit, what experience or certification is required, or how bids will be assessed. No value, budget or costing basis is given. The record carries a second identifier, RFQ15-04-2026A, alongside the tender reference, without explaining how the two relate. Anyone interested should read the full bid documents before deciding whether this is worth pursuing, because the notice as supplied describes an intention to procure rather than the procurement itself.
