Renewal of LHCOPN high-bandwidth network for LHC experiments.
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) seeks to renew the LHCOPN (Large Hadron Collider Optical Private Network) service, which provides dedicated high-bandwidth connectivity for the LHC experiments. The procurement covers the continued provision of this critical network infrastructure to support data transfer between CERN and UK research institutions. The contract is expected to be for a fixed term with options to extend. Bidders must demonstrate experience in providing high-capacity optical private network services to the research community.
