Accent Group, a social landlord with over 21 000 homes across the length and breadth of England is seeking to procure a fully managed replacement to their existing WAN. The main drivers for this project are:

a) The current WAN contract is now out of term and and OJEU compliant re-procurement process is necessary to ensure statutory and corporate governance compliance.

b) The current infrastructure provides insufficient bandwidth and variable levels of service.

c) A redesigned foundation layer is required to support our new unified communications infrastructure. Without a fit for purpose WAN enabling a modern innovative communications system our ability to provide a good service would be compromised.

A fully managed wide area network with cloud based internet break out and a range of MPLS (or equivalent) connections ranging from 400 MBPS to ADSL 2+.
