What the buyer is requesting
Details
The UniNet Project arises from a critical internal demand to modernise and unify the Universities wired and wireless network infrastructure across six campuses. The current network infrastructure is end-of-life, with existing devices at or nearing the end of their support and maintenance periods. This presents a significant risk to operational continuity, cybersecurity, and the ability to support modern educational and administrative technologies.

The purpose of this RFP is to go to market and select a qualified system integrator to supply, install, and configure the Cisco or Arista-based network solution across UniSC campuses. The selected integrator will also be responsible for providing support, maintenance, and training services to ensure a smooth transition and long-term sustainability of the new infrastructure.

Mandatory criteria includes:

Must be certified and capable of both Cisco and Arista partners.
