Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Data Centre Refresh" project, managed by the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, has reached the award stage. This project falls under the industry category of data services (CPV code 72300000) and involves the continuation of specific services in collaboration with Wavenet Limited. The services will be maintained locally, as they cannot be migrated to the public cloud, Azure. The procurement was executed through a selective process, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement under NOE CPC TTS. The contract, commencing on 1st May 2026, is set to conclude on 30th September 2028, with the project's central location at Worthing, United Kingdom (postcode BN11 1HS). The award was confirmed on 10th June 2026, with a total contract value of £563,393.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large companies specialising in data services and IT infrastructure management. Businesses familiar with managing data centre operations and providing connectivity and firewall services can leverage this contract to strengthen their service portfolios. Although SMEs and VCSEs might find these contracts less accessible due to size suitability criteria, larger enterprises like Wavenet Limited can expand their market presence and reputation by participating in such framework agreements. These types of contracts are advantageous for suppliers looking to secure long-term engagements with the healthcare sector, particularly within NHS-related projects.
