Description

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has an ICT team within the Digital and Information Directorate (DID), delivering a professional approach and striving for Security Excellence in the provision of all IT services.

Following on from the webinar held on 26th April 2023, the CPS have published an opportunity for an Internet Service Provider on 10th November 2023.

The CPS currently operates a WAN across up to 40 sites in England and Wales. Over the course of the next 12 months, we want to transition to GovWifi as part of ensuring that all services are available securely directly over the internet. We believe that using the GovWifi standard will be particularly valuable to staff who work in multiple locations and ensure that we work to a common approach across buildings which are shared with other public service providers.

The provision of an Internet leased line at each in-scope CPS office at approximately 28 sites that has availability and offers the best performance and value for money at the point at which we are ready to transition.
The tender has been published via the CPS eTendering Service via CCS Network Services 3 Lot 1a.
