Tender: Fibre Backbone Installation and Network Hardware Refresh – National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth

About

The National Library of Wales is seeking a supplier to provide networking services to update its infrastructure, including installing a fibre backbone across its Aberystwyth site to create a Superhighway linking three datacentres with estimated link distances of 150m, 200m and 300m. Works also include smaller networking projects to connect and integrate existing networking cabinets into the completed fibre Superhighway. Initial route planning, hardware specification and network configuration have been outlined with the Library's Networking Consultant. The project is split into two phases under this single-supplier ITT: Phase 1 is a planned installation to be completed within an agreed timetable and requires a proposal with the tender submission for evaluation prior to award; Phase 2 is a call-off contract for installation services with daily and hourly rates. The successful tenderer must hold the UK sterling rate card price until 31 July 2028 from award of the tender.
