The Council requires a partner to deliver and maintain a Cisco based SD WAN Solution to replace its existing MPLS WAN Solution. Additional services such as implementation services will be required. The Council has undertaken significant work to evaluate its requirements and identify a solution that will offer compatibility and integration with existing infrastructure, current Council resources and be contained within any available budget. The Council anticipates going out to tender at the end of November 2025. The solution will need to be live and operational by 22 July 2027.
