## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority is currently in the Award stage of the procurement process for the "ITIS Network Services WAN & LAN" contract. This tender, valued at £4,703,055, falls within the IT services and networking industry category. It aims to transition to a multi-supplier model for data and telephony network services. The contract period commenced on 25th September 2018 and will conclude on 24th September 2022, with the potential for two 12-month extensions. The service delivery areas include multiple regions across the United Kingdom such as North East, London, and the South East.

This tender presents opportunities for growth in the IT and telecommunications sectors, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in managed infrastructure, data centre support, and connectivity solutions are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The shift towards a multi-supplier model may allow for diverse service providers to participate, enhancing competition and innovation in meeting the Authority's digitisation and sourcing needs.

## Notice

The Authority is moving from a single prime supplier model that delivers its entire data and telephony network, voice and video services, managed infrastructure and data centre support and maintenance requirements to a multi-supplier model including some self-provision. The Authority sought and selected a Supplier to implement and provide a solution for data access services and local connectivity services (lots 1 and 2 under the Crown Commercial Service's RM1045 Network Services framework). The main overarching services that the Supplier is required to provide are: * Gateway Services and management access: access to the Crown Hosting Data Centre and 12 sites of which 9 have Local Server Rooms. This will enable secure access to the platforms and applications hosted on the Authority's infrastructure; * Connectivity: architecture will provide continuity for ICT services as well as providing connectivity to support the Authority's Digitisation and Sourcing Programme. Additional information: The initial term is 48 months with the option to extend by two 12-month periods, at the Authority's discretion.
