Server Refresh Solution

London Hydro requires a server refresh solution providing a complete, supportable hardware and software platform that can operate independently of professional services. The requested scope includes replacing the Cisco MDS fabric with a dual-fabric fibre channel SAN switching platform, server-side ethernet and fibre channel connectivity, compute and chassis components, power supplies, accessories, licensing, and manufacturer support. The work requires onsite performance in Ontario, Canada, and eligible bidders are restricted to onshore Canadian organizations. Vendors must register as a Plan Taker on the bidding system website to obtain the unwatermarked RFP and submit proposals digitally via email or online. Questions must be submitted through the bidding system by 4:00 p.m. local time on October 30, 2026, and final proposals are due by November 27, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Evaluation relies on a matrix where cost in Canadian dollars carries a 40% weight, alongside vendor references, technical compliance, and potential presentations to the evaluation team.
