## Summary

The procurement process involves Stockton Borough Council as the buying organisation, seeking contracts for the "Cisco Core Network Equipment and Datacentre Maintenance - 2017". This requirement falls under the networks industry category, with the contract valued at £320,000 and having been awarded on 31 May 2017. This tender was conducted using a selective procurement method defined as a restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 12 May 2017, while the contract commenced on 1 June 2017 and extends until 31 May 2022. The delivery addresses are located in the North East region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses offering networking equipment and maintenance services, especially those with experience in large-scale IT infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could leverage this contract to enhance their market position and gain valuable experience in public sector procurement. Companies specialising in the provision of Cisco equipment and related support services will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities, fostering potential growth through public sector engagement.

## Notice

The contract would consist of hardware provision of replacement core networking equipment to supersede the functionality of the existing CISCO Nexus 7010 switches at Stockton and Darlington datacentres. This functionality includes the support of 3 x virtual device contexts (Corporate, Public, Private), 'stretched' VLAN's using OTV, flexibility of interfaces to support copper, fibre on 1GBps and 10GBps SFP+. In order to minimise the impact on the existing network and reduce risk, we have designed a replacement system using Nexus 7004 switches and Nexus 2000 series fabric extenders. There is also a schedule of all current Cisco datacentre equipment to be covered under a maintenance contract for 5 years or until the end of any item's service life.
