What is being bought

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is the devolved administration for the 10 Local Authorities, Health Care Partnerships and GM Fire and Rescue. GMCA is currently completing the rollout of 2,700km across Greater Manchester, to enable the delivery of a Public Sector Regional Network, known as GM One Network. The purpose of the GM One Network Platform is to deliver a shared network capability that underpins and enables the delivery of the GM Digital Vision for Greater Manchester, as outlined in the Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint. As a next step, GMCA wish to contract for the technology products and services to design, build, integrate and support the GM One Network Platform. Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the regional Greater Manchester Local Authorities (“Contracting Authority(s)”) wish to now procure Agreements for Services and Works as described in the ITPD and the Specification (the “Services”) in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102). The Services are being procured for and on behalf of the Contracting Authority, for any public-sector entity which exist or are established or otherwise exercise some or all their functions within Greater Manchester. The GMCA intends to award one or more agreements, against which simultaneous “Confirmed Contracts” will be awarded by the Contracting Authority(s). The agreement will be made available to the organisations listed in the additional information section and any wholly or partially owned legal entity of these authorities. The contract is divided into Lots. The LOTs shall include: • LOT 1: Service and Systems Integration • LOT 2: Connectivity Service • LOT 3: Software Defined Network • LOT 4: Secure Remote Access • LOT 5: Direct Cloud Access For avoidance of doubt a single LOT will not be awarded to more than one agreement. The Contracting Authority(s) and GMCA have chosen to utilise Regulation 29 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (“the 2015 Regulations”) namely Competitive Procedure with Negotiation and have appointed GMCA as its agent (“Contract Manager”) to oversee and manage the appointment of the preferred supplier(s) to deliver the Contract(s). This Pre-Qualification Selection Questionnaire (PQQ) is available to organisations who may be interested in providing the Services and Works (who are referred to from this point forward as the “Tenderers”). This Stage 1 PQQ (Schedule 1) is the minimum qualification criteria that must be achieved in order that Tenderers submissions are considered further in terms of Stage 2 – the Technical and Commercial evaluation and being invited to submit an Initial Tender. Up to ten of the highest scoring Tenderers will be taken forward following qualification selection and will be invited to submit an Initial Tender and Outline Solution response. This will be Stage 2 of the tender process.

Connectivity Service

Purpose The Connectivity Service provides the foundation for the GM One Network over which all other services will be provided. It is primarily based upon the Local Full Fibre Network (LFFN) that connects all 34 core Fibre Services Nodes (FSNs) as well as the 1,600+ GM sites. Additionally, a Service Provider’s core (MPLS/Internet) network could also be considered as part of the GM One Connectivity Service (when connected via the WAN Access service). At the high level, the Connectivity service encompasses: • Connectivity Core – IP network connecting the 34 LFFN FSN Points of Presence • Connectivity Access – Provides the access aggregation point for LFFN connectivity from remote GM sites into the Connectivity Core • Connectivity Edge – CPE at GM sites facilitating the connection to the Connectivity Access service • Connectivity Connect – Network layer at GM sites that provides the wired or wireless connectivity from end users/devices to the GM One Connectivity Edge • Connectivity Cloud Edge – provides the connectivity to Cloud Access (including Internet access), Remote Access and WAN Access for the IP Network • Internet Access – provides secure connectivity to the Internet Key Principles The Connectivity Service is expected to: • Be of carrier-grade providing a secure, high-capacity, low latency, low jitter, highly resilient network platform; • Support both IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously and provide connectivity to all services regardless of the IP version in use; • Support segmentation at the IP layer ensuring separation of Authority traffic; • Provide any-to-any connectivity between sites and always forward traffic over the “best” path; • Provide a secure gateway between Authority's GM One Networks; • Meet the (current and future) requirements for handling the transmission of information at the appropriate Security Classification as required by GMCA; • Support overlapping IP addressing between different Authorities; • Support end-to-end granular scheduling of traffic across the network; • Support access speeds from 1G up to 100G with upgrades/downgrades with minimal cost and disruption to service; • Support non-resilient and resilient GM Partner Authority site connectivity; • Support active/active load balancing at resilient sites; • Support zero touch deployment for Core, Access and Edge devices; • Provide secure access to high-capacity, highly resilient Internet access; • Integrate with existing LAN infrastructure at GM Partner Authority sites;

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 32. The category anchor is Internet network (32412110); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is the devolved administration for the 10 Local Authorities, Health Care Partnerships and GM Fire and Rescue.  GMCA is currently completing the rollout of 2,700km across Greater Manchester, to enable the delivery of a Public Sector Regional Network, known as GM One Network.\tThe purpose of the GM One Network Platform is to deliver a shared network capability that underpins and enables the delivery of the GM Digital Vision for Greater Manchester, as outlined in the Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint. As a next step, GMCA wish to contract for the technology products and services to design, build, integrate and support the GM One Network Platform.  Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the regional Greater Manchester Local Authorities (“Contracting Authority(s)”) wish to now procure Agreements for Services and Works as described in the ITPD and the Specification (the “Services”) in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102).\nThe Services are being procured for and on behalf of the Contracting Authority, for any public-sector entity which exist or are established or otherwise exercise some or all their functions within Greater Manchester. The GMCA intends to award one or more agreements, against which simultaneous “Confirmed Contracts” will be awarded by the Contracting Authority(s).  The agreement will be made available to the organisations listed in the additional information section and any wholly or partially owned legal entity of these authorities.\nThe contract is divided into Lots.  The LOTs shall include:\n•\tLOT 1: Service and Systems Integration\n•\tLOT 2: Connectivity Service\n•\tLOT 3: Software Defined Network\n•\tLOT 4: Secure Remote Access\n•\tLOT 5: Direct Cloud Access\nFor avoidance of doubt a single LOT will not be awarded to more than one agreement.   The Contracting Authority(s) and GMCA have chosen to utilise Regulation 29 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (“the 2015 Regulations”) namely Competitive Procedure with Negotiation and have appointed GMCA as its agent (“Contract Manager”) to oversee and manage the appointment of the preferred supplier(s) to deliver the Contract(s).   This Pre-Qualification Selection Questionnaire  (PQQ) is available to organisations who may be interested in providing the Services and Works (who are referred to from this point forward as the “Tenderers”). This Stage 1 PQQ (Schedule 1) is the minimum qualification criteria that must be achieved in order that Tenderers submissions are considered further in terms of Stage 2 – the Technical and Commercial evaluation and being invited to submit an Initial Tender.\nUp to ten of the highest scoring Tenderers will be taken forward following qualification selection and will be invited to submit an Initial Tender and Outline Solution response. This will be Stage 2 of the tender process.",

    "description": "Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is the devolved administration for the 10 Local Authorities, Health Care Partnerships and GM Fire and Rescue.  GMCA is currently completing the rollout of 2,700km across Greater Manchester, to enable the delivery of a Public Sector Regional Network, known as GM One Network.\tThe purpose of the GM One Network Platform is to deliver a shared network capability that underpins and enables the delivery of the GM Digital Vision for Greater Manchester, as outlined in the Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint. As a next step, GMCA wish to contract for the technology products and services to design, build, integrate and support the GM One Network Platform.  Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the regional Greater Manchester Local Authorities (“Contracting Authority(s)”) wish to now procure Agreements for Services and Works as described in the ITPD and the Specification (the “Services”) in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102).\nThe Services are being procured for and on behalf of the Contracting Authority, for any public-sector entity which exist or are established or otherwise exercise some or all their functions within Greater Manchester. The GMCA intends to award one or more agreements, against which simultaneous “Confirmed Contracts” will be awarded by the Contracting Authority(s).  The agreement will be made available to the organisations listed in the additional information section and any wholly or partially owned legal entity of these authorities.\nThe contract is divided into Lots.  The LOTs shall include:\n•\tLOT 1: Service and Systems Integration\n•\tLOT 2: Connectivity Service\n•\tLOT 3: Software Defined Network\n•\tLOT 4: Secure Remote Access\n•\tLOT 5: Direct Cloud Access\nFor avoidance of doubt a single LOT will not be awarded to more than one agreement.   The Contracting Authority(s) and GMCA have chosen to utilise Regulation 29 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (“the 2015 Regulations”) namely Competitive Procedure with Negotiation and have appointed GMCA as its agent (“Contract Manager”) to oversee and manage the appointment of the preferred supplier(s) to deliver the Contract(s).   This Pre-Qualification Selection Questionnaire  (PQQ) is available to organisations who may be interested in providing the Services and Works (who are referred to from this point forward as the “Tenderers”). This Stage 1 PQQ (Schedule 1) is the minimum qualification criteria that must be achieved in order that Tenderers submissions are considered further in terms of Stage 2 – the Technical and Commercial evaluation and being invited to submit an Initial Tender.\nUp to ten of the highest scoring Tenderers will be taken forward following qualification selection and will be invited to submit an Initial Tender and Outline Solution response. This will be Stage 2 of the tender process.",
