BRI Switches 2022

Descriptions

Bridgewater High School, an academy within The Challenge Academy Trust, is seeking to replace the existing network switching solution and expand its current provision. The academy is located over two sites. The solution includes a 20Gb/s interlink between both sites and a 20gb link to each cabinet to their local core. The solution is part of a crucial IT infrastructure to allow the academy to operate and deliver high quality education. It is therefore important that any equipment is tier 1 and comes with a minimum of a 3-year extended service package with a 24/7 cover within a 4 hour response time. The technical specification is based upon specific switches but there is scope to quote for a different switch solution based upon a similar technical specification (Tier 1 manufactured) being quoted upon. This must be highlighted at the beginning of the tender. The details and quantities are included in the attached document.
