The University of Central Lancashire ("University") is reviewing its requirements for a 'Modern Network' with a view to potentially entering into a procurement exercise in the Spring of 2022, subject to governance approval to proceed. The Contracting Authority is issuing this prior information notice (PIN) as part of a Request for information (RFI) to engage with the market and to gather information in order to gain a better understanding of both the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the proposed services, and to alert the market to a potential future tender opportunity. It is important to note that there is no guarantee this PIN/RFI will result in a future call for competition it is solely for information gathering purposes only.
