Notice Title

Market Testing Document for provision of Firewall Supply and Services.

Notice Description

Falmouth Exeter Plus are looking for a qualified partner to supply 2(two) x FortiGate firewalls (design to be agreed) along with associated professional service time to work on the high- and low-level design and then implement the final agreed solution. The agreed solution needs to re-use 2(two) existing FortiGate firewalls which are still in support so experience in multi firewall solutions is essential. Due to the critical information in this solution, we are not supplying our suggested design and current specification in this open forum so would invite bidders to express an interest in this project.

Release of Market Test Document Monday 21st June 2021 Clarification Request Deadline Friday 02nd July 2021 at 12.00pm Deadline for Return of Market Test Document Monday 05th July 2021 at 5.00pm. The supplier must have extensive knowledge of higher education and evidence of a large-scale project with a University in the last 3 years. Any interested parties who can provide all of the criteria as set out above should reply with an expression of interest, by the deadlines as stated in the timetable. This should include a brief overview of your company (including contact details) and any relevant experiences and accreditations that would support in delivering this project.
