Lincoln University is seeking proposals or responses from suitably experienced and qualified Respondents to provide and become a trusted partner to firstly assist in the creation of a design for the replacement and improvement of the overall Lincoln Network and secondly from the developed design including the fully costed solution completing the implementation.

Lincoln University is probably the largest and smallest university in New Zealand with a main campus in the Lincoln township on the outskirts of Christchurch city along with three local operational farms. Lincoln is the largest university in area (>500 hectares) and smallest in number of students.

These locations host many buildings & structures along with plenty of wide-open spaces which provide locations for offices, teaching, and research plus the many and varied business operations of the University. Throughout several of these spaces there is currently an extensive network which covers the majority of the Lincoln campus through either wired and or wireless enterprise network services providing service for our staff, students, residents (~700), guests, subsidiaries, an increasing number of long-term tenants along with a burgeoning number of IoT devices.
