Provision of a Wide Area Network

The Office of the Durham Police and Crime Commisioner (ODPCC) wishes to appoint a contractor to renew its existing wide area network circuits and associated maintenance services.

The Contract shall have an initial term of 5 years, with the option to extend by up to 2 further periods, each of 1 year.

The Contract may include, but not be limited to:

Provision of wide area network services;

Ongoing provision and cessation of wide area network circuits;

Maintenance services.

It is intended that the Contract be flexible to accommodate ODPCC requirements.

As technology and public attitude to police contact changes, there is a need to look at value for money in the delivery of wide area network services. The ODPCC has a requirement to save money and realise significant savings, along with the need to drive efficiencies through procuring a wide area network system which is flexible, robust and value for money

Further, more detailed information is available in the Tender Documentation which is able to be accessed free of charge and electronically at www.eu-supply.uk

Please note that the estimated value range and contract dates include a 5 year initial term and potential 2 year extension period.

The deadline for PQQ submissions is 4pm on 26th November 2015 - submissions must be made via the EU Supply portal (www.eu-supply.com)
