Southwest One celebrates delivery of new award-winning high-speed broadband network for Somerset schools and academies
Southwest One, through its partnership arrangement with Somerset County Council, has brought a new high-speed broadband network to Somerset’s schools and academies.
The unique nature of this network was recognised internationally in July, leading to Southwest One, IBM and BT winning an iCMG Enterprise & IT Architecture Excellence award for Future IT.
"Southwest One is committed to improving local residents' access to services. We see the upgrade of this network as key for our schools and we are delighted to have been able to successfully deliver this new network at no additional cost for the people of Somerset." Fiona Capstick, Chief Executive, Southwest One.
Delivering procurement savings
"One of the main drivers for creating Southwest One was formalised collaboration across the three organisations to radically transform the Procurement Service into a centre of excellence tasked with delivering savings of around £200M over 10 years on a combined annual spend of more than £500m." Ian Conner, Chief Procurement Officer
