## Summary

The procurement process, titled "Zero Trust Network Hardware Provision - I-1538," is conducted by Oxfordshire County Council. This tender involves the provision of goods within the internet network category and is located in England, United Kingdom. The contract has a total value of £546,104.80 and was awarded on 25th January 2022. The contract period commenced on 21st March 2022 and will run until 20th March 2027. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 11th January 2022, during which this initiative was in the award stage.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for businesses specialising in network infrastructure and technology, particularly those involved in cloud-managed technology solutions aligned with a Zero Trust approach. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find this project well-suited to their services, as it requires the provision of hardware, software, and licensing support. Such businesses stand to benefit by participating in a contract aimed at modernising and securing network communications for the Council.

## Notice

The Council has a requirement to replace its ageing Network Infrastructure in its current MPLS network to enable an alternative route for users of our systems to communicate with the Internet. This requirement is in alignment with the IT Strategy which specifies a Zero Trust network delivery approach utilising cloud managed technology. The existing infrastructure is not able to support this approach and as such needs to be replaced. A separate tender will be published in due course to consider the ongoing management of the connectivity required by the strategy. This contract therefore is only for the hardware, software and licence support of the new Zero Trust platform.
