Tender: Fully Managed Network Services and Private 5G (n77) Test Environment for Wave Tech Centre

About

The City is seeking a supplier to design, supply, implement and provide ongoing managed services for a fully managed network environment supporting the Wave Tech Centre, consolidating LAN switching and routing, Wi‑Fi, SD‑WAN, firewalling and a private 5G (n77) indoor and outdoor test environment into a single integrated managed service. The non‑critical network must meet defined business‑hours availability, performance and reporting requirements, support a multi‑site architecture with connectivity to two remote locations via City‑supplied single‑mode fibre, and provide internet via dual ISPs routed using BGP with City‑provided IP addressing and an autonomous system number. The solution must remain air‑gapped from the City’s operational network except for explicitly approved integrations such as identity services and security logging, and include secure co‑management, operational monitoring, reporting, lifecycle management and knowledge transfer. Under a shared‑responsibility spectrum compliance model, the City will retain the spectrum license while the Proponent is responsible for technical compliance of deployed 5G equipment and providing required documentation and spectrum usage artifacts, and the solution must be capable of accommodating future growth and higher‑performance use cases.
