II.1.4)Short description:
Accent Group, a social landlord with over 21 000 homes across the length and breadth of England is seeking to procure a fully managed replacement to their existing WAN. The main drivers for this project are:
a) the current WAN contract is now out of term and and OJEU compliant re-procurement process is necessary to ensure statutory and corporate governance compliance.
b) the current infrastructure provides insufficient bandwidth and variable levels of service.
c) a redesigned foundation layer is required to support our new unified communications infrastructure. Without a fit for purpose WAN enabling a modern innovative communications system our ability to provide a good service would be compromised.
It should be noted that both this and our unified communications tenders will proceed within the same timeframe with the same award date, and our unequivocal objective is to complete both projects by 30 June 2017.
