Schools Connectivity Services - Update for high schools

Norfolk County Council has recently let a framework agreement to Updata Infrastructure to replace the current network contract with BT, which expires in March 2016.

The attached sheet provides an overview of the new service for high schools, with additional technical details.

The contract was let by competitive tender to get schools and other users the best deal. The service has been carefully designed to meet schools' requirements, based on guidance from NEN (www.nen.gov.uk). It represents a significant advance on the current service.

In comparing the price with other offerings, schools should take into account the features provided - many of which are not included as standard in some other offerings.
