It is mandatory for Shared Technology Services to have service desk telephone support on 24 x 7 x 365 basis. The anticipated delivery date will be 1st April 2025. The proposed contract term is 1 year, + 1 year extension.

The requirement is to provide a first-line telephone support service for the three council partners (London Borough of Brent, London Borough of Lewisham and London Borough of Southwark) and the LGA to run alongside the STS onsite, UAT and central service desk teams.

Shared Technology Services (STS) provides IT infrastructure management and support to three partner councils, namely the London Boroughs of Brent, Lewisham and Southwark.

Brent is the lead council in the respect that it is the employer for all officers within STS and also carries out procurements and contracts on behalf of STS. The services provided by STS include the procurement and management of IT related services for each of the three councils. The procurement is undertaken in accordance with the Procurement Protocols in the IAA.
