Procurement framework requirements

This procurement will provide a framework to systems that:

• Adhere to strict UK government security policies, standards, network traffic segmentation and Zero Trust principles to ensure data privacy in multi-tenant environments. Achieving scale across these strategic shared hubs requires network automation and modern observability capabilities.

• Ensure rapid onboarding through zero-touch provisioning and automated tools to eliminate manual/human errors, complemented by self-healing routines that autonomously resolve bandwidth bottlenecks and link failures.

To manage these multi-vendor environments effectively, end-to-end telemetry and continuous performance analytics is required. This ensures real-time observability that measures actual user experiences across Wi-Fi, LAN, ISP, and cloud access points.
