Description

Following the successful launch event in May, Birmingham City Council would like to invite suppliers to engage in a soft market testing exercise for our upcoming Office Productivity & End User Devices procurement.

We are seeking input from potential bidders to indicate the options and costs for:

a) The provision of support services
b) The provision of End User Device Hardware
c) The project to Upgrade to Windows 10

These services may be delivered as a single managed service, or by multiple suppliers delivering 1 or more of the above services. There is no preferred solution at this stage.

Suppliers are invited to help shape and inform the Council's approach for this service prior to a full procurement exercise planned for Summer 2018. Additional information and the soft market testing questionnaire are available through In-Tend - the Councils eProcurement portal.

Registration and use of in-tend is free. All correspondence for this procurement process must be via the in-tend correspondence function. If you are unable to register with in-tend please either email us at cps@birmingham.gov.uk or call 0121 464 8000.
