BCU-MIN-62457 PROVISION OF A RENEWAL ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT FOR BCUHB

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) has made a significant investment into Cisco network infrastructure (for both data and voice applications), to support their information technology digital infrastructure requirements. BCUHB invested in a three-year Enterprise Agreement (EA) contract in 2023. The existing EA agreement expired in April 2026.

BCUHB are looking to procure a renewed Enterprise Agreement contract that allows for the following Cisco suites of technology:

1. Network and Wireless,

2. Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), and

3. Security Products.

The health board are also looking to include licencing for Cisco Enterprise Modelling Labs (CML) to be included in this procurement, either as part of the EA, or as a separate co-terminated licence agreement, as an optional extra.

BCUHB are looking for a suitable Cisco Gold Partner supplier to provide a cost-effective EA contract that is bespoke and optimised for its established Cisco based infrastructure. It is expected that the supplier will offer additional value in the following areas:

1. Delivering value through demonstrable Customer Success Practices

2. Delivering value through provision of a proactive and enhanced Enterprise Agreement management service throughout the lifecycle of the EA term

3. Supporting the BCUHB network Operational team for the EA and supporting technologies (e.g. Cisco EA training and technology training) Additional information: Procurement was published under framework North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative – Total Technology Solutions (NOE.0552)
