The contract is based in Exeter, South West England, with a total estimated value of £540,000 over a maximum term of seven years. The tender is currently in the open procurement stage, with a submission deadline set for 30th July 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st October 2019, coinciding with the expiration of the existing LAN maintenance support contract. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in network services, particularly those with expertise in Extreme Networks and Avaya products. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this opportunity particularly beneficial, as the procurement process encourages competitiveness among a variety of service providers. Companies adept in providing maintenance, support, and hardware procurement will be well-positioned to submit tenders and potentially collaborate with Devon County Council as they expand their IT infrastructure. ## Notice Devon County Council's existing LAN maintenance support contract expires on 30th September 2019. The existing contract covers the hardware and software support for the Avaya VSP9000 units at County Hall, Exeter and the lifetime warranty of the remaining Avaya edge switches throughout the estate. The edge switch deployment consists mainly of ERS 4800's, with around half a dozen ERS4500's and a dozen 3500's. In January 2019, we had a requirement for shared office space with our NHS partners, which meant running one infrastructure for both organisations. DCC's solution was to deploy an Extreme X-Series switch solution, alongside their NAC and NMC servers. These will be covered in the new contract and will come into force, once that contract expires (January 2020). DCC require access to Extreme's firmware and software for all of our Extreme equipment, including the older Avaya product ranges in use. We require email notifications when new releases are available and a brief explanation of what the release covers, be that software bug fixes or enhanced features. DCC also require a formal contract for the purchasing of any new Extreme hardware. For the avoidance of doubt, when we refer to Extreme throughout this document, it also includes any of the formally named Avaya products. The estimated contract value of PS540,000 is for the maximum term contract period of (7) seven years.
