Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

The design, supply, implementation and commissioning of a complete IT solution from a “Greenfields” perspective replacing the existing system provided by the Local Authority who has agreed support until the end of the school Summer holidays 2014.

The solution needs to support innovation such as:

- Ability to work from any device connected to the network

- Flexible working environment with the ability for students to remotely access work and eLearning content to facilitate inclusion of parents

- A solution that under pins a move to BYOD and 24/7 learning

- A solution that has the potential to include local communities via connection to the High Schools WIFI network

These innovations are aspirations of the school and must be incorporated into the design of the solution. The school’s expectation is that the system needs to be auditable, flexible, scalable and secure in order to meet current or future demands and trends driving increased availability and access whilst minimising risk. e.g. BYOD with 3G/4G failover/fall-back for client access. Service delivery needs to be seamless, responsive and display ease of use requiring minimal in-house support, but underpinned by an IT support service.

Expected deliverables include but are not limited to:

High speed, high density, site wide wireless connectivity delivering internal, BYOD and guest access, coupled with a robust and scalable wired solution supporting in excess of 3000 con-current wireless users.

The controlled delivery of network/domain logins and approximately 300 RDS/VDI user desktops to both internal and external users across a broad range of devices and technologies

A fully-redundant, fault-tolerant and flexible backend architecture incorporating the following features to name a few:

Antivirus/UTM

Intelligent Backup and Disaster recovery

Flexible Storage and Compute

Redundant, load-balanced and filtered internet connectivity

The solution must include all licencing, integrate with our existing services (e.g SIMS, Siemens Openscape ,Google Apps for Education) and support existing practices.

The successful supplier is expected to work closely with the school and IT team to design and implement a solution that meets the school’s needs with full system documentation, full administrative system access(including all passwords) and industry recognised certified training to the IT team provided.
