UK Higher Education Networking Equipment and Services Framework

North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium Ltd (NEUPC), one of six UK Higher Education purchasing consortia, seeks suppliers to establish a national framework agreement providing comprehensive networking solutions to UK Higher Education Institutions and Associate members. This framework will deliver full networking equipment and services including: design and consultancy; equipment supply and installation; network security solutions; implementation and configuration; ongoing maintenance and management; system monitoring for optimal performance; repair and support services; staff training; and end-of-life disposal. The consultancy component must be provided from an independent perspective and cover all aspects of networking advisory services. Suppliers should expect to provide a range of networking equipment items through this framework. This opportunity enables providers to support multiple higher education institutions across the UK through a single collaborative agreement.
