The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender phase scheduled to conclude on 15 May 2019. The contract period will commence on 31 May 2019 and extend until 31 July 2019. This opportunity falls under the services category and the main classification includes CPV code 32510000, focused on wireless telecommunications systems. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications and IT services sector, particularly those with the capability to deliver long-term support and warranty services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can meet the specific requirements outlined by Leeds City College will find this procurement particularly suitable, as the contracting authority is open to proposals from any registered suppliers capable of fulfilling its needs. Competitive advantages may be gained by businesses that demonstrate reliability and strong partnerships with manufacturers of the proposed solutions. ## Notice Leeds City College ('the College') is seeking to purchase an 'Arista wireless solution (or equivalent). Requirement is for implementation within the Group. Please note - Both warranty and support have to be included within the purchase price and run for a period of not less than five years. Any warranty must also be deferred from the date of purchase to the actual 'go-live' date of August 2019, then run concurrently for the minimum period of three years. Also, any proposed professional services must be included within the price. Proposals which incorporate alternative manufacturers' equipment or solutions whose performance is likely to be less effective or less reliable than the equipment stated, or whose use will impact upon the current deployed infrastructure as a whole, or whose use will require significant training or other investment by the College will not be accepted.
