QU134 - Office Productivity & End User Devices - Soft Market Testing Exercise

We are seeking input from potential bidders to indicate the options and costs for:

• a)The provision of support services
• b)The provision of End User Device Hardware
• c)The project to Upgrade to Windows 10

These services may be delivered as a single managed service, or by multiple suppliers delivering 1 or more of the above services. There is no preferred solution at this stage.
