Tender description
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.

About the buyer
Aberdeenshire Council is a local authority covering the North East of Scotland, running procurement through its own commercial team. Tenders are advertised on Public Contracts Scotland, the Scottish Government's national tender portal. Suppliers register on that portal to view opportunities and submit bids. Works contracts draw on Constructionline's approved contractor lists rather than open advertisement. Goods and services procurement instead favours regular open competition. A dedicated Commissioning Team inside Housing and Social Work buys community care and support services. Procurement strategy and annual reporting are developed jointly with Aberdeen City Council and Highland Council.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Aberdeenshire Council's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and construction materials.
