Future Network for Schools (FN4S) Service for educational establishments in Hampshire and Southampton
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
Hampshire County Council (HCC) is seeking to create a single supplier framework called Future Network for Schools, that will provide a reliable, scalable, flexible and affordable managed internet access service for Schools, Academies and other educational establishments within Hampshire and Southampton.
The new service will need to provide a range of features including (but not limited to) firewalling, web filtering and reporting, safeguarding, VPN connectivity, DNS, anti-virus, and remote access services.
Under the framework, schools will have a direct relationship with the supplier for the provision of all service operations, delivery, support and service desk, ordering and billing.
HCC will not be directly involved in any of these activities.
The successful supplier will need to provide schools with an online service catalogue from which services can be ordered.
The council cannot guarantee or give any assurances as to the volume of schools entering into an agreement with the service provider via the framework agreement.
Schools must determine for themselves whether the framework service provider, and call off terms and conditions, and other framework documents are acceptable to their organisation.
