Officer decision to enter into a new IT
Managed Network Services contract for the Council’s Sheltered
Accommodation properties with Intergence Systems Limited.
The 3 year GCloud13 Lot 1 framework contract will terminate on 30
November 2026 or can be extended to co-terminate with the existing
corporate Network Managed contract on 25 February 2027.
The contract value of £99,985 (£33,283 per annum)
comprises aggregated costs including some £18,000 hardware
capital costs plus licensing costs for a range of third party
network monitoring systems/ tools plus the service support costs
themselves.
However, in this instance with the Council’s Sheltered
Accommodation premises housing some of our most vulnerable
residents reliability, network connectivity and business continuity
of service are key award factors. Similarly, cyber security is a
key factor in awarding the contract.
Primarily the IT Managed Network Services contract represents
value-for-money in comparison with other listed GCloud13 Lot 1
framework contractors’ published prices (Please see the
supporting report for details).
However, with the Council’s sheltered Accommodation premises
housing some of our most vulnerable residents reliability, network
connectivity and business continuity of service are key considered
factors.
Additionally;
1)Value-add Services: Intergence are a trusted technology support
partner and their proven technical specialist expertise and
capabilities, their business agility and support capabilities will
be utilised to modernise the supporting the Council’s
sheltered Accommodation premises network infrastructure.
2)Cybersecurity and Information Governance. Intergence hold
government level Security Clearance (SC) at Project, Design and
Support Levels (Security Clearance conforms to BS7858). The company
also has the following Security Governance and Risk Certifications:
ISO:27001, ISO:9001, Cyber Essentials.
3)Partner ethos. Their willingness to work alongside council IT
resources sharing knowledge/ information and assisting the
development of new skill sets.
4)Business Continuity. Minimising service disruption by enabling
TDC staff to make major structural changes without the dependency
of using an additional (and untried) external agency.
The necessary budget has been previously identified via a separate
decision made by the Leader of the Council.
Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Operations and Delivery)
Decision published: 15/11/2023
Effective from: 15/11/2023
Decision:
To enter into a new three year IT Managed
Network Services contract for the Council’s Sheltered
Accommodation properties with Intergence Systems Limited on 1st
