The goal of this tender is to obtain a suitable internet, network and telephony provision from a Service Provider that is fit to meet the needs of staff and tenants at the University of Wolverhampton Science Park (UoWSP) by way of offering like for like provisions delivered by our current provider (and single onsite/in-house network technician) while also improving on any provision areas that have seen market development since the start of the previous contract (2015). There will also be the potential that the sister site will also look to onboard the chosen solution dependant on its offering, The e-Innovation Centre (EIC) and Business & Technology Centre (BTC) in Telford is currently serviced by a simple dedicated Virgin Media line with self-managed network and telephony provisions managed by our two onsite/in-house network technicians.

Minimal downtime to be experienced in any swap over of service providers.
