Published requirement description

London Luton Airport Operations Limited (LLA) wishes to establish a framework for the provision of IT Infrastructure Equipment and Services, with a 5 year + 1, zero-value contract awarded to a minimum of one supplier and a maximum of three suppliers for Lots 1, 4 and 5 and one supplier for each of Lots 2 and 3. The award of one Lot (any of the 5) does not guarantee the award of any of the other Lots.

We have an ambitious strategy to refresh Luton Airport’s IT infrastructure over the next 12 months, including networks, servers and storage, and to ensure such equipment is maintained and supported. LLA also has a significant portfolio of other project work, including IT and construction projects that have an ongoing requirement for IT infrastructure equipment and services.

  • Recurrence: 6-12 months prior to the end date of the agreement. Note this is dependant on optional extension year(s) being taken and subject to changes in requirements
