Soft Market Testing (SMT) - Libraries Public IT Service

Tender description

The City of London Corporation (the 'City') is carrying out a Soft Market Testing ('SMT') in relation to the Libraries Public IT Service. There requirement is for the provision of a public network, hardware and software for members of the public across the following business areas: Barbican; Artizan Street; Shoe Lane; The Small Business and Enterprise Centre and Guildhall, London Metropolitan Archives (LMA). The City is looking for the provision of a fully managed and supported solution that will provide the identified business areas with a fast, secure and reliable network which will be delivered both wireless and wired. There is a requirement to have both fixed workstations at the venues and also to allow customers to bring their own devices which can connect to the network. The City will consider the feedback received as part of this SMT to help inform its options and decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this phase of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the City is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. If your organisation would like to participate in this SMT exercise, it can do so by completing and returning the SMT Questionnaire which can be found on the City’s eProcurement portal at www.capitalesourcing.com by 12:00 noon on 20 January 2022.
