The City of London Corporation (COL) and the City of London Police (COLP) are seeking to appoint a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to design, implement, transition, and manage a modern, secure, and resilient network service across their combined estate. This includes delivering a future network solution encompassing SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), SD-WAN, LAN/Wi-Fi, Internet connectivity, and associated network security services, supporting approximately 120 Corporation sites, 100 additional CC-TV sites and 12 Police sites across varied environments – from mission-critical datacentres to ruggedised CCTV installations.

• Support major programmes, including the delivery of network services to the new City of London Police HQ at Salisbury Square by early 2026.
• Ensure resilience and scalability to meet increasing demands across policing, CCTV, and the Corporation’s digital estate.
The MSP will be expected to:
• Lead full network design, build, transition, and ongoing managed service provision.
• Manage and coordinate specialist sub-suppliers for hardware, cabling, and ruggedised installations.
