Consultation Draft RFT: Data Centre Facilities – Pricing Model
Thank you for the comments we have had on the Data Centre Facilities Request for Tender (RFT) so far. As I signalled in my initial post, the Statement of Requirement is only one element of the draft RFT. Another matter, which I am sure will be of interest widely, is the pricing we will ask tenderers to provide as part of their response.
To address this interest, we have prepared a description of our draft pricing model (RTF, 45k, also available in PDF, 114k, and HTML). In particular, I am interested in your views about which elements we should be pricing and whether you can identify any other elements, components or dimensions that influence price and thus should be included in the model.
