OVERVIEW
A number of New Zealand government agencies with offices overseas (also known as NZ Inc) use a shared Global Wide Area Network (GWAN). GWAN partner offices are located in 60 sites across 53 countries.
MFAT is the lead agency for the provision of GWAN services under a Master Services Agreement (MSA). MFAT and other GWAN partner agencies work together under a Memorandum of Agreement called a “WAN Charter”.
We are looking for an experienced Supplier to provide a global telecommunication service that continues the current GWAN and satellite connection services from partner offices to their New Zealand based IT services.
WHAT WE NEED
The Ministry and its GWAN Partner agencies need an international telecommunications supplier to provide reliable digital connections to the overseas offices of New Zealand Government agencies. The primary use of the GWAN is to connect overseas branch office IT systems to the New Zealand head office systems of the respective GWAN Partners.
We also seek a preferred satellite services supplier to offices in countries that do not have terrestrial links. By establishing a strong partnership with a preferred supplier in each area, we expect to extend each agency’s information services to all their offices while also leveraging the benefits of operating on a common network.
WHATS IMPORTANT TO US
The Ministry and its GWAN Partners are looking for credible Suppliers who have the capability, proven experience and capacity to deliver a reliable and sustainable global solution that meets our Requirements as outlined in Section 2.
