Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process for the "Network Infrastructure Refresh" project has been managed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) located in London, UK. This procurement falls under the hardware industry category, specifically targeting the replacement of end-of-life network infrastructure, including a second site in Leeds to support disaster recovery requirements for London. The procurement method used was selective, forming part of a call-off from a framework agreement, and this specific tender has reached the award stage. The process concluded with CDW LIMITED being the successful supplier, with the contract starting on 10th June 2026 and ending on 9th December 2031. The award was actively made on 28th April 2026, with key dates in the procurement timeline including the tender period end date of 8th May 2026. The entire project has an estimated value of GBP 3,500,000.

This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses with a focus on delivering high-quality hardware solutions, especially those capable of handling extensive network infrastructure projects. While the FCA specified that this contract may not be suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger businesses with experience in framework agreements and disaster recovery infrastructure projects would be well-suited to compete. Successful completion of this project could enhance the selected supplier's portfolio in the public sector, showcasing their capability in handling significant hardware upgrades and providing substantial long-term value delivery.
