This tender seeks an ICT services provider to deliver dedicated SD-WAN internet services with two active-active failover fiber links, providing 2600Mbps uncontended bandwidth and 24/7 support for a five-year contract.
The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) is inviting bids for the provision of dedicated SD-WAN internet services. The successful bidder will implement two separate fiber links that ensure active-active failover, delivering a total bandwidth of 2600Mbps. Key requirements include uncontended bandwidth (1:1), uncapped, unshaped, and unthrottled services, with a guaranteed uptime of 99.5% and comprehensive 24/7/365 support. The contract duration is five years, with an option for renewal based on performance.
The scope of work encompasses the supply, implementation, and ongoing support of the SD-WAN solution, which must include dual gateways at each site for high availability. The service provider will also be responsible for migrating existing links to the new infrastructure and ensuring seamless connectivity across CIPC's multiple branches. This project aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of CIPC's internet services, thereby improving overall operational performance and user experience.
This tender is suitable for ICT service providers with expertise in SD-WAN technology, particularly those experienced in deploying high-bandwidth internet solutions and providing ongoing support and maintenance.
