Notice Title

The Connectivity Programme: Network Upgrade

Notice Description

English Heritage is embarking on a key digital upgrade. Our current project aims to transition from our existing MPLS network to a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). This change aligns with our commitment to continually enhancing the experiences we offer our visitors. In preparation for the delivery of SD-WAN in 2024, there's also a need to update the LAN hardware at several of our sites. Consequently, the purpose of this tender document is to procure, pre-stage, and install the new network switches, ensuring our infrastructure is robust and ready for the upcoming advancements. We are seeking potential partners who can ensure that our network infrastructure meets the demands of the future.
