Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council is currently seeking to procure Wide Area Network (WAN) Services, a significant opportunity in the public services sector. This open procurement process, identified under the contract ID 000-QQDF1842, is situated in Aberdeen, UK, and has a total estimated value of £13,200,000. The tender period is set to close on 24 November 2020, and the award period will commence on the same date. The procurement is designated as active, having commenced with an Invitation to Tender (ITT), following earlier Requests for Information (RFI) and Requests for Proposal (RFP) that aimed to gather insights into market conditions and pricing structures.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in WAN integration, especially those with a track record of providing managed network services. Companies that can demonstrate relevant security certifications, specifically at least PSN Assured/CAS(T) standard or equivalent, are particularly suited to compete. As there are multiple sites involved and a range of services required, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can illustrate experience in similar large-scale network projects will be competitive in this tendering process.
