II.1.4)

Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board (‘GG & C’) requires a cabling service which meets its operational and business needs. This service will only apply to the Greater Glasgow area initially, albeit it is envisaged encompassing the Clyde workload in subsequent years as services and systems merge more fully. Bidders must be aware that these types of changes to the contract are envisaged and these will be effected through the Change Control Procedure.

Current Environment

GG & C has a networked estate of over 30 000 extensions across approximately 100 sites, the vast majority being provided by traditional voice and around 6 000 VOIP extensions. The majority of the main sites use CAT5e structured cabling.

GG & C Telecommunications Services invites offers for the provision of a framework agreement for the end-to-end delivery of minor and complex wiring provision across its sites. This will include basic IT/telephone extension wiring, all minor moves, changes and fault repairs within the GG & C voice network for a minimum period of 36 months, with further extensions at GG & C's option.

The work will involve completing a range of day-to-day and programmed tasks, including attending site visits and identifying basic technical requirements, liaison with other internal and external service providers, performing telephony wiring and extension jumpering, voice patching, testing and repairing cable or socket faults and so on. A list of typical tasks will be provided in the subsequent main tender document. All work will be issued and allocated by GG & C's telecoms department and it is expected that the successful bidder will provide named members of staff to be managed on this basis.

Much of the work is re-active so flexibility is essential.

The key objectives of this contract are to:

— Provide a cost for the core weekly business with named and consistent full time staff allocated.

— Provide a flexible service for telephone users which includes hourly costs for out-with normal working hours.
