St Lawrence Catholic School (the Applicant) seeks services provided by a third party for the operation, management, and monitoring of eligible broadband LAN/WLAN components (managed Wi-Fi) for existing equipment that is owned by the school. We seek a 3- or 5-year contract with or without the option of voluntary extensions for eligible MIBS services under this agreement. The Applicant understands that eligible Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections items are also sometimes necessary to provision a Managed Internal Broadband service, and expects bidders to propose those as necessary.
