The SDWAN effectively enables the safe and reliable operation of key customer facing assets such as Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) and Customer Information Systems (CIS). TransPennine currently has 47 existing circuits in the SDWAN network. TransPennine has 21 locations, and it is anticipated that a small number of these may require additional works to the physical environment to facilitate this core infrastructure upgrade. It is planned that this procurement will include the carrying out of these works to enable installation. To enable this, a separate smaller piece of work to survey TPT's locations and capture the output requirements from this is currently being completed and will form part of the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b542ea35-3228-49d6-8604-55f4bf7a9fa2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic, Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 22 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | 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 | TRANSPENNINE TRAINS LIMITED | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6LT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72720000 - Wide area network services ## Release History - 12 Sep 2023 at 08:45 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b542ea35-3228-49d6-8604-55f4bf7a9fa2 - 28 Aug 2023 at 17:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b542ea35-3228-49d6-8604-55f4bf7a9fa2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b542ea35-3228-49d6-8604-55f4bf7a9fa2 12th September 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=805141015 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
