Decision Maker: Head of Technology & Design

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose:

Content: To migrate fibre networking across 22 council sites from current bespoke service arrangements to SD-WAN over CityFibre network using commercial ISP.   The total purchase value is £129,918.43 + VAT from KHIPU Networks Ltd for 3 years via SBS DWS2 framework direct award.   Cost reduction in relations to current services and renewal of equipment and leased space. The decision is the most cost effective way to continue critical network services. Continuing the current arrangement, however this would require an even more significant level of capital expenditure to renew equipment.

Date of Decision: September 29, 2026
