Legal Justification
2 x 500Mbps direct internet connections at County Hall datacentre: (i) July 2024 - 2025 (with 12m extension possible to July 2026) (ii) December 2024 - 2025 (with 12m extension possible to December 2026). The services are split for additional resilience in the event of a problem arising. The supplier (Wight Fibre) has its own Island Infrastructure already in situ; any other supplier would depend on utilising BT Open Reach infrastructure to supply our requirements, which in itself carries a higher cost than is offered by Wight Fibre, whose infrastructure is already in place. A cost comparison was carried out and Wight Fibre were lowest cost, but with additional benefits such as monitoring of real time bandwidth and traffic usage. Wight Fibre’s offering also includes a large number of public IP addresses on two of the direct internet connections, upstream DNS mirroring, built in resilience, 24/7 365 days a year coverage for faults, monitoring, and reporting. Continuity of supply of our connection(s) is of high importance and as well as the cost effectiveness mentioned. The Isle of Wight Council will be observing a 10-day standstill period which will end at midnight on 04 November 2024.
