Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington has completed a procurement process for Wide Area Network (WAN) Services, classified under CPV code 72720000. This process involved a call-off contract from a framework agreement with the incumbent service provider, London Grid For Learning Trust, to deliver a managed, secure, and resilient network to around 110 sites across the borough. The contract, valued at £1,043,000, started on 23rd July 2019 and will conclude on 23rd July 2024. Significant dates include the tender period ending on 21st June 2019 and the award date on 5th June 2024. The project aims for better integration with cloud-based applications, reducing dependence on on-premises hardware and infrastructure, which will potentially lower the council's energy consumption.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in network services and cloud integration. Companies experienced in providing robust and secure network solutions, especially those adept at transitioning services to cloud-based platforms, would be well-suited to participate in similar future tenders. Although this tender was selectively awarded through a call-off from a pre-existing framework, businesses with relevant capabilities may benefit from engaging with public sector framework agreements to secure such contracts. The ongoing need for local authorities to manage efficient and energy-conscious IT networks underscores a steady demand for specialised network services.

Notice Title

Wide Area Network Services

Notice Description

London Borough of Islington signed a call off contract with our incumbent service provider to deliver a fully managed, secure, and resilient network to approximately 110 sites across the borough. Implementation of a new WAN involves the physical installation of circuits and equipment into all council buildings. It is crucial that the Council maintains a fully functioning, secure and supported Wide Area Network (WAN) to provide connectivity from LBI buildings to Council IT services. 5.3.1. The next generation of WAN paves the way for better integration with Cloud-based applications meaning there is less dependence for on-premises hardware and infrastructure. This will therefore reduce the Council's energy consumption although we acknowledge that this is offset by the energy consumption from within the cloud-based solution.
