## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of a Wi-Fi and data switch solution was awarded by Aberdeenshire Council to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The project involves implementing matching management and authentication for over 4300 wireless access points and 820 switches across 340 sites. The contract was signed on 3rd March 2023, with a total value of £180,000.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for IT services and network equipment suppliers to engage with Aberdeenshire Council and potentially expand their business. Businesses offering scalable solutions for large-scale network infrastructure projects would be well-suited to compete in this procurement stage. The location of the project spans various sites under the council, facilitating a broad range of potential suppliers to participate in the bidding process.

## Notice

The Council has a requirement for a new Wi-Fi Solution, with new PoE+ Edge Switches. This new equipment shall require the implementation of matching management and authentication for an estate, which currently has over 4300 wireless access points (WAPs) and 820 switches, across over 340 individual sites. Whilst this procurement does not cover all the 'replacement' equipment we will require for our full WLAN refresh, the Solution offered should be scalable to include all likely network equipment as it is added, further details are in the procurement documents
