This is the latest instalment of an exclusive series analysing the UK’s biggest public sector tech deals. In partnership with the data analysis firm Tussell, we drill down into the most valuable tenders and awards from the last seven days. Here’s what we found this week…
Aberdeenshire Council is preparing to spend £5m on a new wide area network (WAN). The local authority says it has no preference on the technologies used, but that the supplier must be CAS-T approved. “The only limiting factor,” the tender states, “is the likely annual budget available for the supply of this service which currently stands in the region of £1m per annum revenue cost”. Aberdeenshire has invited prospective suppliers to register their interest on Public Contracts Scotland’s website.
