With the advent of cloud-based systems as well as modern collaboration tools, DOC seeks to implement a high performing and secure (Zero Trust) architecture which includes the network.
DOC’s requirements and current business problems has confirmed the need to procure a new network solution. DOC is ideally seeking a high performing and very secure (Zero Trust) cloud-based network which includes modern collaboration and network management tools.
A refresh of the network will additionally allow DOC to re implement foundational principles and technologies that under pin a “Zero Trust” architecture where every interaction is assumed to be untrusted, and users must establish trust through an authenticated identity and healthy context. This is to mitigate against ever-increasing threats via the internet in today's cloud connected, work from anywhere world.
DOC seeks to modernise the network environment with specific requirements for the service to have the ability to scale, meeting fluctuations in its business demands, increase visibility of the technical network environment, and improve transparency and management of operating costs.
Additionally, DOC seeks to implement solution(s) that can keep pace with demand and meet cyber security requirements.
The refresh of the network seeks to greatly enhance end user productivity and experience as well as ensuring all data is always safe and secure.
The outcome sought from this procurement is that DOC will contract a single supplier to deliver a solution that comprises all software and hardware components needed to meet DOC’s Network and Secure Access requirements. The preference is that this contract reflects a ‘as-a-service’ model where the supplier will support and retain ownership of the solution and its constituent components.
