Notice Information

Notice Title

Network Core Resilience

Notice Description

This is a Short Form Further Competition (SFFC) under the Network Services Agreement RM1045 from Crown Commercial Services (CCS).Only suppliers on Lot 2 of this framework will be invited to submit a response on the SFFC Order Form. Over the last few years the growth in the use of technology at KGH has increased significantly. As the hospital continues its journey on the Digital Maturity Roadmap the more demand there will be for additional networked devices. Consequently this places greater demand on the availability and capacity of the Trust's Corporate Network. In recent years not only has the number of computers being used increased, we are now also now more reliant on our networks for telephony, security cameras, wireless devices and clinical devices. All these devices ultimately connect back to one of our Network Comms Rooms or Secondary Data Point (SDP) rooms. The SDP rooms contain a cabinet which houses a number of devices known as network switches which connect back to our servers. A 3rd party was commissioned to undertake a physical audit of the current network capacity across approximately 30 comms rooms across the Trust. The audit has identified the need to increase the capacity by increasing the number of network switches by an additional 30. These additional switches will ensure that we have sufficient capacity to support current capacity demands and future growth. Additional information: To find further details and to submit a bid please log onto www.supplying2nhs.org. Please submit your response and any questions related to the requirement via the ePortal. This opportunity is only open to suppliers named on Lot 2 of RM1045 Network Services framework as a short form further competition. If you are not named in this lot please do not submit a bid as it will be rejected.
