## Summary

The Sefton Council is currently undertaking a procurement process to acquire new Cisco networking equipment under the title 'CISCO Switch Refresh'. This initiative falls under the IT services category and is aimed at ensuring the robustness and security of the Council's ICT network. The tender is active, and interested parties should submit their quotations by 23rd September 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 7th October 2019 and will last until 7th October 2020, with a total budget of £50,000. The procurement method being utilised is an open procedure, allowing a wide range of vendors to participate.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT hardware and support services, particularly those that can supply networking equipment like routers and switches. Companies that offer not just product supply but also technical support options are well-suited, as the Council is seeking to receive both price-only quotations and those that include a five-year support agreement for the supplied items. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially gaining valuable experience and a foothold in the local government procurement landscape.
