Outsourcing of Information Technology

Description

Bournemouth Churches Housing Association (BCHA) are seeking proposals from suitably qualified and experienced suppliers for the provision of outsourced IT services for a period of 3 years. It is proposed that the contract will have a break clause after 12 months. The existing IT service provides hardware, infrastructure (including data and communications) and support to approximately 400 users, and BCHA is proposing to transition away from thin clients to a solution where users can access files and applications from their desktops or mobile devices. The proposed IT strategy describes an environment where company data is hosted in the cloud, specifically Microsoft's Azure platform for legacy applications, and file sharing, email, Word and Excel etc through Microsoft 365. BCHA is willing to consider responses that propose an alternative approach that achieve the same accessibility vision. All requests for information and tender submissions should be addressed to our Procurement Manager, Paul Gilbert via procurement@bcha.org.uk
