Broadband
ICT Solutions have tendered for suppliers to be on a Multi Broadband supplier framework, effective from September 2022.
The framework agreement is open to all education establishments (e.g., schools, academies, trusts, federations, adult Learning centres, nurseries, preschools, alternative provisions) to purchase from, within East of England (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex) and Lincolnshire.
The scope of this framework agreement includes the supply, installation, management, maintenance, technical architecture, system design and project management associated with the provision of the services.
As part of this tender process, we have assessed suppliers' technical solutions, compliance against legislation, financial checks, and experience with working with educational establishments to meet your requirements and provide you with a framework to call off from to meet procurement regulations.
