Technical requirements: The University of Southampton is planning to deploy an improved wireless service to a number of buildings using a revised approach for design, installation, assurance and handover methodology.
The University is looking to secure one or more suppliers to support the delivery of the delivery phase of this project scope. Selected suppliers must be fully competent to deliver the complete scope of all of the requirements in this document to University standards in order that the supplier will fully own the end to end process of design, install, assurance and handover of a complete building.
It should be noted this project has been divided into lots meaning that the overall project may be split between the parties providing the services to manage risk and provide resilience of service supply and to reduce delivery time and provide service supply contingency, or may be awarded to a single supplier. Further details of the lot structure can be found in the Invitation to Tender document set.
Bidders are advised they can either bid for the full requirement as detailed in Lot 3 (value of 220 000 GBP), or alternatively Lot 1 or 2 are partial requirements (which encompass approximately a 50 % split of roughly 110 000 GBP per lot).
The University of Southampton is planning to deploy an improved wireless service (wireless service upgrade / replacement) to a number of buildings, across its Highfield Campus, using a revised approach for design, installation, assurance and handover methodology; which has previously been tested at pilot stage.
Each building delivery will require a detailed project plan outlining each phase of delivery including assurance and handover milestones and activities.
The target timeline for formal handover of the upgraded service in all buildings is 29.9.2017 to coincide with the start of the 2017/2018 academic year.

The requirements of the specification are applicable to all lots, however the buildings requiring installation and upgrade services differ under each lot. The breakdown of the buildings applicable to each lot can be found within the Invitation to Tender document set.
Bidders are advised that lots 1 and 2 each represent approximately 50 % of the total NA Wireless Project requirement for wireless network upgrade and installation services, whilst Lot 3 represents the full requirement (and comprises all applicable buildings) of the NA Wireless Project for wireless network upgrade and installation services. In seeking best value for money, the University reserves the right not to award one or more of these lots.
