The University needed to procure a supplier that will deliver a Network Infrastructure Refresh. The selected supplier will assist the University in providing industry guidance and advice, implementing the solution, building a software defined network, the provision of hardware, and ongoing support and maintenance of the network.

The current University network is approaching end of life. To ensure the University has a network capable of delivering the existing services and future expectations of stakeholders, this Business Case recommends investment in a modern Software Defined network for an expected minimum contract life of 5 years, with an option to extend for a further two years, on an annual basis.

Delivery: UK, West Midlands · Birmingham
Extensions: There are two plus one year periods, subject to satisfactory performance, extending the agreement from 60 months (5 years) to 84 months (7 years).Variant bids: not allowed

Quality: 70%Price: 30%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 70
  • Price: 30
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
