Tender description

Norfolk County Council is looking to purchase network equipment and services and a replacement virtual server infrastructure and hyperconverged virtual server infrastructure. This procurement is being split into two lots: Lot 1 (Network) and Lot 2 (Server). Lot 1 - The requirement of the Provider will be to deliver network equipment and services to replace its existing legacy Huawei based network solution, Wifi, Firewalls, switch gear, access points and optionally the content filtering solution. This will also support and enhance the existing zero trust network strategy. These services are used by all staff across Norfolk County Council and some partners. Lot 2 - The requirement of the Provider will be to deliver a replacement virtual server infrastructure and hyperconverged virtual server infrastructure. Full details of the requirement can be found in the Statement of Requirements documents which are supported by an additional document outlining the strategic objectives and overview of the existing service (there are separate documents for Network and Server), all of which will form a schedule to the terms and conditions of the contract. The values in this notice are estimated and we expect they could change during the procurement.

About the buyer

Norfolk County Council runs local government services across Norfolk and buys as a local authority open to suppliers of every size. Suppliers register an account on In-Tend, the council's electronic tendering system. Each opportunity carries a PIN that suppliers use to express interest before bidding. Larger opportunities are advertised nationally on Find a Tender, with smaller notices published on Contracts Finder. Many goods and services are bought through framework agreements run by the Crown Commercial Service and ESPO. Suppliers can also apply directly to those framework agreements alongside the council's own tenders.

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 Norfolk County Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, transport services and construction work.
