Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract for providing two 500Mbps direct internet connections to their County Hall datacentre, named "Wightfibre Circuits - County Hall Datacentre". The contract, classified under the industry categories of software package and information systems, as well as IT services, covers the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process, initiated as a tender and now in the award stage, involves a contract period starting from 1st July 2024 through to 31st December 2025, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The award date was 30th June 2024, and the total contract value is £32,400 GBP. The entire process has been handled by Isle of Wight Council and the supplier is WightFibre.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services and infrastructure, particularly those capable of supplying high-speed internet connections. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete in such contracts due to the scale and specific IT service requirements. As the project involves long-term service provision with potential extensions, it can provide stable revenue streams and opportunities for broader engagements with public sector clients. Companies with a focus on software, information systems, and IT consulting services stand to benefit greatly from participating in similar future tenders.
