The tender, titled "Provision of Wi-Fi Across CPS Estate (Webinar)", falls under the industry category of Networks. The procurement method is selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender has a value of £1,200,000 in GBP and a tender period ending on 26th April 2023. The contract period is set to start on 2nd October 2023 and end on 30th September 2026. This tender by CPS for Wi-Fi provision presents lucrative opportunities for businesses, especially those involved in internet services, supply and installation of access points, hardware, and managed services, as well as data cabling installation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are also considered suitable for participating in this procurement process. With the transition to GovWifi, CPS aims to enhance service availability securely, offering potential vendors a chance to contribute to this strategic undertaking. ## Notice GovWifi Prior Information Notice Introduction The Crown Prosecution Service currently operates a WAN across 40 sites in England and Wales. Over the course of the next 12 months we want to transition to GovWifi as part of ensuring that all services are available securely directly over the internet. We believe that using the GovWifi standard will be particularly valuable to staff who work in multiple locations and ensure that we work to a common approach across buildings which are shared with other public service providers. Our assumption is that this transition to GovWifi will be best supported by working with: 1. A panel of internet service providers so that we can run mini-competitions to identify the ISP in each location that has availability and offers the best performance and value for money at the point at which we are ready to transition 2. A single vendor or reseller for the supply and installation of access-point and associated hardware coupled with a managed service for the support and maintenance of those access points. 3. One or more data cabling installers, who may be chosen separately or may be the same supplier identified in 2 above if that supplier can demonstrate effective provision of data cabling services. We intend to monitor the performance of the Wi-Fi internally but expect that all failures will be detected by routing monitoring and proactively resolved by the suppliers without involvement of CPS staff except for access purposes when on-site engineering is required. This approach has been piloted and found to work well. We are hosting an early market engagement session to explore this proposed approach and gather intelligence on how best to design this contract. If you are able to confirm attendance or if you would prefer to receive the recorded event, would you please notify us by email to CommercialHardwareCategory@cps.gov.uk so we can issue the invite to you directly. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc43f963-53ac-4d51-af32-f6f6995234b8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Apr 2023 | | Submission deadline | 26 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2023 - 30 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CPS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32400000 - Networks ## Release History - 6 Apr 2023 at 11:14 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc43f963-53ac-4d51-af32-f6f6995234b8 - 6 Apr 2023 at 10:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc43f963-53ac-4d51-af32-f6f6995234b8 - 6 Apr 2023 at 10:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc43f963-53ac-4d51-af32-f6f6995234b8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/dc43f963-53ac-4d51-af32-f6f6995234b8 6th April 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/577a21f5-b1d9-458d-a57b-93d77fdbb639 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/838cb3bf-0102-4201-bad1-d5c07876971e n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/32c37979-fd2c-4f28-bcd6-e535882c51cb n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
