2013/1046 - Request for Tenders for the provision of Broadband Services

Houses of the Oireachtas Service

The Commission currently supplies a business broadband package and remote access firewalls as part of the solution to provide secure remote access from Members constituency offices and other fixed locations to the Oireachtas LAN via IPSEC based VPN's over the Internet (approximately 220 sites in total). Under the current set up all sites must have their own telephone line and split billing arrangements apply for payment of broadband, however, these are not mandatory requirements. The existing service relies on a number of technical considerations that must be met. These considerations will directly affect the overall responsiveness of the connection and will directly affect the ability of the Member to connect to the Oireachtas in a timely manner. While the connection to the Oireachtas LAN may work with lower capabilities than those listed below, the service may be perceived as substandard and the Contracting Authority will not consider such proposals.

Deadline
