In plain English
East Riding of Yorkshire Council needs a specialist IT supplier to help them switch their network system from a complex Cisco ACI setup to a simpler traditional Cisco NX-OS system. The supplier will handle the planning, design, moving the data, testing, training, and ongoing support throughout the transition.
What the buyer wants
• Design and plan the transition from Cisco APIC/ACI environment to Cisco NX-OS architecture • Implement and migrate the network systems with minimal disruption • Test the new system thoroughly to ensure it works correctly • Provide training and knowledge transfer to the council's staff • Provide post-implementation support services
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract strongly favours large IT consulting firms with Cisco partnership credentials and prior experience of major network migrations. A small independent IT business without Cisco accreditation and a track record of similar large-scale projects will struggle to win against established competitors.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
