## Description

Abri are seeking the provision of a group-wide connectivity provider for our sites\. Abri currently utilises SD-WAN technology for our network backbone and this is rolled out to every site\. Our current contracts expire in 2022\. All sites in the 'East' geography \(former-Radian\) are running on new connectivity, specified according to size and number of staff at sites\. A redundant link is available at every site, ranging from 4G, PSTN to 1GB/1GB geo-diverse standby\. Abri only require these to be taken on by a new supplier and no installation or configuration\. Sites in the 'West' have had lines converted from MPLS to FTTC to facilitate SD-WAN, but this was a tactical solution deployed with the incumbent supplier\. The edge routers in use are old and should be replaced along with new lines and redundancy where appropriate\. Abri have used t-shirt sizing to allocate connectivity requirements for sites, and as standardisation is a major part of the technology strategy going forward, it is a must for this to be implemented as expected\. All sites are included in this on Appendix A1 \(attached\) WiFi is out of scope for this delivery\.
