RFI - Office IT / AV Hardware supply, Installation, Testing and Disposal - Supplier Event

The East West Rail Company is creating a new direct rail connection between Oxford and Cambridge, and beyond. Serving communities across the area, it will bring faster journey times and lower transport costs as well as easing pressure on local roads.

Currently East West Rail is based in temporary offices in Central London but in Spring 2020 will be moving to new offices in Central Milton Keynes.

The fit-out of the new office is subject to a previous separate tender (that separate tender covered the design and build of the new office, supervision of the fit-out and all materials such as fixtures, fittings, lighting etc).

The proposed scope of this future tender is for IT and AV equipment only for the new offices.

It is for the procurement, storage, delivery, un-packing, installation, configuration and testing of the IT/AV hardware including certified disposal of the associated packaging and waste materials.

In addition, for the provision of all drop/patch cables, installation of any required software and configuration of hardware and software settings as well as the disposal/resale of some existing IT/AV Hardware.

As a guide, the volume of the IT/AV hardware requirement is estimated to be circa 600-650 units including but not limited to meeting room conferencing/presentation equipment, laptops, screens, printers and keyboards.

Specifics around the requirement and volume will be included within the future tender document. It is anticipated that the tender will to be launched later in January 2020.

It is planned that the CCS Framework (RM3733 - Lot1) Technology Products 2 (TP2) will be used for the future tender.

This purpose of this RFI is to gauge market interest and tender feedback via a supplier event to be held at our Central London offices on Friday 10th January 2020.

Due to expected interest in the tender and limited spaces, participation maybe limited to one person per supplier.
