Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board procured WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi for its London office. The requirement covers telecommunications network equipment and associated network connectivity and wireless infrastructure needed to support the organisation’s office operations. Delivery is in London, United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement concerns an integrated communications network rather than a single standalone product. The buying organisation is the Construction Industry Training Board, which is based in Peterborough. The scope is relevant to businesses supplying enterprise networking equipment, wide area network solutions, local area network infrastructure, wireless networking equipment, or associated implementation and support services for office environments. The requirement is centred on one London office rather than a wider regional or national rollout.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Wavenet was awarded the contract on 28 July 2026 for £949,980.67 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 26 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026. The procurement used a tender process, with the method described as “Other”. The award is active. The published information records one requirement and one successful supplier, rather than separate lot awards. The awarded value is the value of this contract and should not be treated as a budget for additional suppliers. The contract period covers the delivery and operation of the WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi requirement for the Construction Industry Training Board’s London office.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for an integrated office networking requirement at substantial enterprise scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement from the Construction Industry Training Board would need to combine WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi capability rather than provide only one network component. It would need the technical capacity, delivery resources and operational resilience to support a London office over a multi-year contract, with sufficient scale to manage equipment, connectivity and wireless infrastructure as a joined-up service. The award went to Wavenet, recorded as a large supplier, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses should therefore assess their scale, enterprise networking experience and ability to deliver an integrated service.
