The hardware is primarily supported by a infrastructure managed service, but this service requires underpinning services for hardware replacement and manufacturer technical support. The asset list has been split into two Lots; - Lot 1 Includes Cisco networking hardware. For these we require standard Cisco hardware and software support services to the required SLAs. - Lot 2 Includes Cisco hardware and NetApp storage arrays that are beyond the Cisco End of Support date but is still in use. It also contains our NetApp storage arrays which have a lower level of support requirement. For this Lot we require a hardware replacement service only. This opportunity is open to all suppliers under Lot 3d of the Crown Commercial Service's Technology Services 3 framework (RM6100). A notice is not being published for Lot 2 because the value is below £10k. ## CPV classification Technical support services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/4c192f33-3b07-4c10-bc0e-2cc13a68b774) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
