## Description

The University owns and manages 5,183 student bedrooms across three student villages, and internet and voice services are a critical part of the service offering\. Our students expect easy to connect to, fast and reliable internet access to enable them to succeed academically as well as for their personal and social uses\. Existing provision includes a wired service to every bedroom, a shared wireless service into every cluster flat \(typically but not exclusively six bedrooms and kitchen\), as well as intercom/VoIP services to each flat\. Student expectations increase year on year and we would like to future-proof our services for the next decade\. We wish to award a contract to a provider who can offer these services for the next five years cost effectively but to a high standard\. The University of Birmingham is looking to award a five-year contract with an initial period of three years followed by two individual one-year extensions at the discretion of the University of Birmingham \(3\+1\+1 years\)\. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
