Managed IT Services

Description

NLWA is considering whether to procure supplier(s) of managed IT services in the 2025/26 financial year. We would welcome responses to this request for information (RFI) to allow us to build an understanding of current services available in the marketplace. Our requirements range across: - hardware and peripherals - mobile phones - networking - software and services - security - support - migration and onboarding. Further information on our requirements is available in the RFI document, which you can download on our e-procurement portal, In-tend. No contract will be awarded in response to this RFI process. Responding to this RFI is not a prerequisite for participation, and will not give respondents any advantage, in a future procurement. You can request to be notified when any further RFI or tendering opportunity for this project is published. Lot 1: NLWA currently receives information technology (IT) services provided by one of the seven north London borough councils, using the council's in-house digital services team and their contracts with suppliers, but we are considering whether to procure our own supplier(s) of managed IT services in the 2025/26 financial year. We would welcome responses to inform our thinking prior to any potential procurement exercise by gaining feedback on: - the availability of solutions that may meet our requirements - how the scope of any future procurement may be packaged as a single contract or divided into multiple contracts - indicative costs - indicative timescales for migration - any risks we should be considering. Our requirements range across: - hardware and peripherals - mobile phones - networking - software and services - security - support - migration and onboarding. Further information on our requirements is available in the RFI document, which you can download on our e-procurement portal, In-tend. Responses must be submitted no later than 17:00 (GMT) on 13 December 2024.
