## Summary

The procurement process involves Durham University, which is seeking to establish an Aruba Maintenance Agreement for their existing network of approximately 3,000 Aruba access points. Classified under Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) services, this open tender is currently active and will close on 7th February 2019 at 23:59:59 GMT. The contract is intended to commence on 1st April 2019 and will run until 31st March 2024. The total estimated value of the contract is £312,500 and the location for service delivery is within the North East region of the United Kingdom.

Equipment refresh for the entire estate is now being planned in direct discussion with Aruba. The University is seeking an Aruba Gold or Platinum Medallion partner to facilitate the development and delivery of the next generation of WiFi networking.
