Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Wide-Area network (SWAN) Replacement Procurement is an initiative supported by over 90 public sector organisations within Scotland that procure services under the existing SWAN framework agreement. There are now around 6,020 sites connected to the single broadband network. The Programme supports the McClelland review of Scottish Public Sector ICT Infrastructure recommendation for the delivery of a single public services communications network infrastructure for Scotland and builds on the cross sector collaboration established over the duration of the existing SWAN framework contract. The current SWAN framework is due to expire in April 2023 and participating authorities have agreed that the framework needs to be replaced before March 2023 to ensure continuity of networking services. The high-level scope of the SWAN Replacement Procurement is defined as the acquisition of Wide Area Network and all services currently available under the existing SWAN framework, which can be used by potentially all public sector organisations in Scotland and initially by the participating authorities (as existing SWAN Members). The procurement scope is envisaged to include the following key elements: - the future WAN requirements of the participating authorities; and - additional service requirements of the participating authorities (to include LAN, voice, and IoT services). --- Please refer to the Supplier Briefing Document for further information.
