Recommendations wanted – school server replacement and migration, Gloucestershire

We’re a secondary school looking for recommendations for firms experienced in delivering server infrastructure projects in education.

The proposed scope includes:

• Replacing our VMware infrastructure with two Microsoft Hyper-V hosts and shared storage.

• Migrating seven virtual servers, covering domain controllers, file/print and school application services.

• Moving to Windows Server 2025 and reviewing backup arrangements.

• Developing our Intune/Autopilot setup, including moving appropriate management tasks from Group Policy and retiring WDS/WSUS.

• Providing migration planning, testing, documentation and handover, with five-year hardware support.

We have an initial proposal and hardware specification and would like additional indicative quotes, along with advice on whether the proposed approach is appropriate.

Has anyone recently completed similar work and can recommend a firm? First-hand feedback on delivery, managing disruption and support after implementation would be particularly helpful.

Happy to discuss the detailed requirements privately. Suppliers are also welcome to contact me directly.

We do this in house now days, but in the past, we have used Medhurst and we still do for sourcing kit. Highly recommend.
