CQU intends to replace the University’s existing data centre network due to its age and associated risks. The objective is to deliver a replacement solution that minimises operational disruption while maintaining established architectural principles, such as the current leaf-spine design and routing frameworks. Vendors are encouraged to propose alternative or enhanced solutions where these can clearly demonstrate improvements in operational simplicity, network resilience, or long-term cost efficiency, without significantly increasing implementation risk or complexity. The University is seeking a straightforward, robust, and reliable solution based on conventional routing and switching technologies. The proposed solution must be easy to manage and provide seamless interoperability with existing network and server infrastructure. The network must support access port speeds of 1, 10, 25, and 40 Gbps, with uplink capacity to the core of 25, 40, and 100 Gbps. Additionally, the solution must support MACsec capabilities and enable hitless upgrades to ensure continuity of service.
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
