## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner(s) for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, represented by BCH Procurement, has initiated an open tender for the Provision of Support Services to the Cisco and Juniper Network Infrastructure and Hardware Estate. This tender is currently active and is set to close on 17th February 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2017 and will last for an initial period of 12 months, with an option for a further 12-month extension. The services required are mainly focussed on systems support relating to network infrastructure located in the South East of England, specifically at the Hertfordshire Police Headquarters in Welwyn Garden City.

This tender presents growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in network infrastructure support services, particularly those with expertise in Cisco and Juniper systems. Businesses that can provide reliable next business day replacement services and have the capacity to support hardware for eight hours a day, five days a week, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this procurement process could enhance their visibility in public sector markets and potentially lead to further opportunities in similar tenders.
