Wireless Access Point Replacement
Authority: Bishop Burton College (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionBishop Burton College invites eligible partners to submit proposals for upgrading its wireless access point (WAP) infrastructure across the entire campus over a two-phased period. The main goal of this initiative is to provide reliable, high-performance wireless connectivity that addresses both current and future requirements for students, staff, and operational activities.
This upgrade is required due to the scheduled end-of-life for the College’s existing wireless infrastructure. The College aims to maintain a modern, resilient, and adaptable wireless network aligned with its strategic objectives.
- No preliminary market engagement: The tender was initially issued via In-Tend on the basis that the estimated value was below the procurement threshold. As the value has since exceeded this threshold, the tender is now being reissued.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
