Global Internet Transit Service 2018

Tender description

JSL is seeking an initial two-year contract term, with the possibility of extension for up to a further year. The predictions of transit bandwidth, given in sections 3.3 and 3.4 of the attached Operational Requirements document as guidance to Suppliers and for the purpose of evaluating tenders, have been made on the assumption that these amounts of bandwidth will be required to serve the evolving needs of current Janet users. It is possible that during the lifetime of the contract other parts of the public sector will wish to use Janet to access the global Internet, although there are at present no firm plans or statements of intent in this respect. However, for this reason, and because growth in demand from the education sectors may prove to be stronger than expected, JSL is seeking a solution that provides the flexibility to increase bandwidth should it be needed, at controllable cost and in a timely manner. This procurement is for Global Internet Transit connectivity in London. Keywords: Transit, Service, Global, Internet
