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.
