Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for Cisco hardware support has been orchestrated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. This procurement falls under the IT services category, classified with the CPV code 72000000, and covers consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The procurement process utilised a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Network Services 3 Lot 2a. The contract period started on 1st October 2023 and will conclude on 30th September 2026. Initially awarded for a value of GBP 244,051.78, the contract has undergone variations, amending the total value to GBP 672,912.78 to reflect additional requirements and an optional year extension. The awarded supplier is CDW Limited, located in London.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in IT support and services, particularly those providing Cisco hardware maintenance. As the procurement was awarded via a mini competition within a pre-existing framework, businesses already registered with such frameworks could have an advantageous position. Furthermore, the focus on Intra Site Connectivity services provides a niche market for SMEs proficient in local area network solutions, aligning with government procurement policies encouraging SME participation. This creates an attractive prospect for SMEs looking to expand their public sector client base and increase their market share within IT services.
