Notice Information
Notice Title
Moulton College ICT Managed Service
Notice Description
The College currently operates a hybrid ICT support model with the day-to-day end-user support service being delivered in-house. This service is supplemented by third-party specialist providers covering areas such as IT Infrastructure services and security services. The College has no definitive view on whether a future solution should remain hybrid or whether a single managed service provider approach would be better. Prior to developing the full scope for that procurement, the College seeks to engage with suitably qualified organisations to understand what the managed service landscape can offer in terms of meeting the College's needs. The College is keen to explore the full range of delivery models available. The College wishes to hear from any organisation that believes it has an offering that would be of interest. Further information is available on the Delta esourcing procurement portal. For more information about this opportunity, please visit the Delta eSourcing portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Northamptonshire:-System-and-support-services./A86Q4E6VS2
