Additionally the University has invested in Microsoft Teams for their Unified Communication requirements for staff and students, supporting 800 academic staff and 4000 students. Following a recent assessment it was concluded to remove any dependencies of the legacy telephone systems, and that a replacement telephone solution would be put in place. Teesside University is seeking bids from suitably qualified Suppliers for the supply of a resilient SIP service to support its replacement telephone solution across the campus locations. The University requires that the SIP Network Services be engineered and architected in a manner to facilitate the University's requirements, and enables the migration of telephone services from the legacy telephone systems to the new telephone solution over a period of time. Accordingly, the Bidder shall be responsible for the supply, installation and configuration of SIP Network Services to address the requirements. To facilitate business continuity it is expected that the infrastructure is distributed within two data centres (Middlesbrough Tower and Parkside West). The Bidder shall base support pricing upon a three year contract period with two optional one year extensions (i.e. 3 + 1 + 1) and then indefinitely on a 12 month basis. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
