Lancaster-based public sector network specialist TNP (The Networking People) has been awarded a place on the new system established by the Scottish Government to give local authorities, health trusts, universities and colleges easier access to a full range of technical advice.
The Network Advice Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) uses an electronic process designed to further streamline procurement of advice for organisations seeking to develop, enhance and secure their network infrastructure.
Commercial Director Chris Wade at TNP, said: “Existing public sector network configurations often don’t provide the flexible and resilient infrastructure they need. We provide expert advice and guidance to ensure that improvements are cost effective and fit for purpose.
“TNP has huge experience within the public sector across the UK, and is familiar with the specific requirements in Scotland having worked on a number of projects including creating, enhancing and extending networks in the Highlands and Islands. That experience adds value to TNP’s assessment of systems and the advice we provide on enhancing networks, and delivering better performance often achieved using the client’s existing infrastructure to provide more efficient and safer services.”
