Summary of the contracting process

The Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for a "DCH Network Managed Service" under the industry category of Telecommunications Network. The procurement process, characterised as selective, involved a call-off from a framework agreement, and has reached the award stage as of 21st October 2025. The contract, valued at £97,133, will commence on 1st November 2025 and conclude on 31st October 2026. This project is located in Dorchester, UK, with further contact available through Matt Depaola via email or phone.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in network services and telecommunications to expand into healthcare infrastructure management. However, the procurement was not particularly suited to SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Large enterprises like Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, which has successfully secured this contract, would find such projects to be well-aligned with their capabilities, providing a foundation for strategic growth and collaboration with the public healthcare sector.
