Tender description

WCC seeks Microsoft Certified Partners to support its IT modernisation through the migration to Microsoft 365 (M365), enabling a secure, collaborative, and efficient workplace. The project focuses on developing internal capability, ensuring adoption and compliance with governance standards, and enhancing operational efficiency for approximately 700 Active Directory users. The selected service provider will assess WCC’s existing IT infrastructure, develop a phased roadmap for M365 adoption, and identify gaps in architecture, tools, security, and skills. This roadmap will incorporate robust governance, security, and compliance measures, ensuring minimal disruption during implementation while fostering sustainable operations through staff training and upskilling. The scope of services includes a comprehensive discovery and assessment phase to evaluate WCC’s current IT environment and deliver a future state architecture with a 3-to-5-year roadmap. Following this, the service provider will implement the proposed architecture, establish governance frameworks, and execute the adoption of M365 modern workplace and collaboration tools. Deliverables include a detailed current state assessment, a roadmap, and a phased implementation design focused on data governance, endpoint management, and advanced security. The project’s ultimate goal is to position WCC for long-term success in managing a modern, secure, and collaborative IT environment. Further details will be provided at stage 2.
