Notice Title

Tender for Data Centre Network and Core Firewall Refresh Programme

Notice Description

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (The Council) requires a supplier to provide a solution and implementation service to refresh its aging Cisco data centre routing, switching and core firewall hardware with a new fit for purpose and modern Cisco data centre infrastructure that is built upon security and scalability for both immediate and future demand in line with corporate requirements. The Council requires a non-disruptive migration from its existing solution to the new solution and therefore expects some dual running of the current and new infrastructures in tandem whilst the migration is undertaken.
