## Summary

Falmouth Exeter Plus is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Market Testing Document for a CISCO Network maintenance and support". This procurement process is focused on the networking industry, particularly in the South West region of England. Key dates include an engagement end date on 5th May 2021, during which interested parties can review market engagement notices and the procurement plan.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in network maintenance and support, especially those with expertise in Cisco systems. Companies that provide innovative network solutions and are familiar with advanced technologies such as Software-Defined Networking would be well-positioned to compete.

## Notice

FXPLUS are looking to appoint new Cisco Network partner to provide ongoing maintenance for its Cisco Estate, along with the day to day supply of Cisco equipment and ongoing partner engagement for the thought/idea generation piece.

The current focus of any new design will be around SDN and Zero Trust deployment and would need to call out any options to increase resilience.
