WAN Services

The purpose of this Contract Notice is to inform the market of the opportunity for the provision of wide area network (WAN) services. The WAN services will deliver secure connectivity for authorised devices at MoJ’s locations and those of its service recipients (over 1000 sites). The Contract for WAN services will be entered into with MoJ. However, the services will be provided for the benefit not only of MoJ but also a range of service recipients (including a range of MoJ executive agencies, arms’ length bodies, government companies and other entities to whom MoJ provides services). The Contract will contain a list of the initial service recipients who are to benefit from the provision of WAN Services, as well as a list of Potential Service Recipients who may wish to be added to the list of Service Recipients during the term of the Contract. The Procurement will be listed under "PQQ_341 – Evolve WAN Services" in the MoJ's eSourcing Portal. The estimated total value range of the Contract is between £100 million and £200 million. The actual value of the Contract will depend on a number of influencing factors including: a) the prices tendered by the successful Bidder; b) whether any extension options are applied; c) the extent to which projects are commissioned; d) the volume of service requests; and e) whether any of the optional services are taken up by MoJ during the term of the Contract.
