## Summary

The Aberdeenshire Council has awarded a contract for the provision of ITMC - WAN and LAN Extreme Network Partner services. This procurement process started on September 29, 2023, with a tender period ending on September 28, 2030. The contract is currently in the active stage. The contract value is GBP 3,320,000, and it was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The main procurement category is goods involving network-related equipment and services.

This tender opportunity for ITMC services presents a lucrative chance for suppliers specialising in network equipment, hardware, and related services. Businesses with expertise in networks, LAN, WAN, and hardware solutions compatible with Extreme Networks products would be well-suited to compete. The contract aims to modernise Aberdeenshire Council's infrastructure, supporting digital transformation and cloud innovation initiatives. Suppliers who can provide scalable and compatible network solutions aligning with the Council's requirements stand to benefit from this competitive opportunity.

## Notice

The Council's estate currently has over 4,300 Aerohive wireless access points (WAPs) and 820 switches, across over 340 individual sites. This equipment is mostly due to go end-of-life in October 2025.The Council has recently chosen Extreme Networks as our manufacturer of choice for Network Switches and WAPs, following an ITMC in late 2022. That ITMC included a central network admin console (NAC) handling scalable management and authentication for the equipment in that (and for this) procurement, and subsequently will expand and extend our new Wi-Fi Solution, with a significant increase in the number of devices relying on the service. The network will support agile, mobility driven, modernisation opportunities within the digital transformation and cloud innovation workstreams. The proposed equipment must be fully compatible with the existing NAC solution.
