Tender Details
RFQ for Supply of High-speed data services (MPLS-based) to approx. 33 Department of Commerce sites throughout NSW, under DITM 2000.01
Only carriers who are suppliers under DITM 2000.01 are eligible to tender.
The NSW Department of Commerce is upgrading the Wide Area Network in the current financial year. This work will impact over 80 sites throughout NSW.
The broadband data services to the greater number of these sites will be provisioned under the Government Broadband Service agreement with Soul.
However there are a significant number of Commerce sites for which the Government Broadband Service does not have effective service delivery.
It is the provision of broadband services to these locations that is the focus of this Request for Tender. The sites are predominantly located in the Greater Sydney Metro area, with a small number of regional sites also included.
It is highly desireable, to have a high degree of commonality, between the Broadband Service to be provided under this RFT, and the Broadband Service provided by Soul (outside this RFT scope), in terms of technology, configuration, and performance. This will assist Commerce to deliver a consistent service experience to users and also streamline the support and service delivery processes.
