Opportunity overview

The University of South Wales (USW) is seeking to engage with potential suppliers as part of a pre-market exercise to inform a future procurement process. USW currently operates an internal IP Address Management (IPAM) and DNS filtering solution using a combination of BlueCat Address Manager and Cisco Umbrella. We are looking for a supplier with expertise in enterprise-scale network management and security to carry out a comprehensive review of our existing IPAM and DNS filtering setup. The review should cover our entire internal network infrastructure across five campus sites and our hybrid cloud environment, which includes both Azure Public Cloud and Azure Local services. This engagement will help inform options for optimisation, integration, and future development of our internal DNS, DHCP, and IPAM capabilities. Please note that public DNS services are explicitly out of scope. Interested suppliers can access the request for information via ETenderWales at the following link: https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/go/6671278901975E81443A
