Invitation to Participate in a Further Competition to Provide Network Services

Norfolk County Council has procured new network services and amended the traditional approach to embrace a new SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) / zero trust architecture model that includes the removal of MPLS network services and replaces these with a direct internet-based solution. This also includes the adoption of a distributed cloud and client-based security approach. Please note that the contract has an extension provisions for a possible further 3 years. The value contained in this notice is an estimate as the Council has reserved the right to purchase additional equipment, licenses and resources during the term.
