Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "SD WAN Network Review" project is being conducted by Radian, a buyer based in Southampton, United Kingdom. The tender, which falls under the "Networks" industry category, is currently in the open procurement stage. The submission deadline for bids is set for 16th May 2019, and the contract period is anticipated to span from 1st July 2019 to 30th June 2022. This project aims to review and redesign Radian's WAN infrastructure, which has become fragmented and outdated due to past acquisitions and mergers. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing all interested parties to participate.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network technology and infrastructure, particularly those skilled in SD-WAN solutions and digital transformation initiatives. Companies that provide services for the assessment, design, and implementation of networking systems, as well as those familiar with Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given that Radian is a housing association seeking innovation and efficiency in their network solutions, SMEs in the technology sector may find this an advantageous opportunity to establish or strengthen their partnerships with a public sector client.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SD WAN Network Review

Notice Description

The purpose of this project is the review, re-design and replacement of the current Radian WAN infrastructure. A considerable amount of the networking hardware is currently end of life or out of support, and not standardised across make/model/functionality, increasing management overhead. Radian is currently going through a digital transformation programme and therefore require a fast, flexible and secure network which enables the new technology that we are implementing. The current network (see Appendix B) is one that has grown mainly by acquisition or merger and as such has been 'bolted' together and grown organically rather than designed. Radian currently uses multiple providers for connectivity and again this should be reviewed as part of this project to ensure best fit and best value. As part of the review, replacing, renewing or extending the (Multiprotocol Label Switching) MPLS to other sites is also a requirement. Radian are looking to use a SD-WAN approach to reduce 3rd party responsibilities but all technologies will be considered. Wireless connectivity is out of scope for this project, but ease of integration and support should be a consideration in any design or proposal. Radian are not currently looking at 3G/4G/5G, however this could be a consideration for remote sales offices in the future. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
