We are looking for a strategic partner to deliver and manage the network infrastructure, desktop support and telephony. Our partner will also support the implementation and transition to MS Office 365. Supporting the ethos that technology itself cannot create a collaborative culture, technology can enable it by empowering employees with the right communication tools, regardless of location.

  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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