## Description

The Digital Forensic Investigation Unit \(DFIU\) at Hertfordshire Constabulary are short on storage space and required a secondary array for backup/replication of data to meet ISO requirements\. The infrastructure and hardware needing to be purchased would need to be the same as what has been purchased by Bedfordshire DFIU where the ICT department are supporting the same service\. The two DFIU systems need to be able to integrate, share information and communicate with each other\. This reseller is not on a framework so therefore a Single Tender Action was the only suitable procurement strategy that could be used\.
