Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust bought dedicated internet access (DIA) circuits to support Blue Light and Rapid Response Services. This is an internet connectivity service, classified under CPV 72400000, rather than a supply of general IT equipment or construction work. The buyer is based in Worthing, West Sussex, and delivery is identified in the BN13 3EP postcode area in the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to telecommunications operators, internet service providers and network infrastructure companies able to provide and support business-critical connectivity for emergency-response and public-sector operations. It concerns a service delivered across the buyer’s operational requirements, with the specific published location linked to BN13 3EP.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from framework RM6116. The contract was awarded to Wavenet Limited on 1 July 2026 for £84,456.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 29 June 2026 at 12:00. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust was the buyer. The procurement was for services, with an estimated tender value of £84,456.20. The award is active and covers the same three-year period as the planned contract. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for dedicated internet access supporting Blue Light and Rapid Response Services within an NHS foundation trust. A credible future competitor would need to operate as an established telecommunications or internet service provider, with the network capacity, resilience and service management needed for business-critical connectivity. Experience of delivering reliable circuits to public-sector or emergency-response environments would help demonstrate operational understanding. Suppliers would also need to compete through the relevant framework route, as this requirement was awarded as a framework call-off rather than through an open standalone tender. The scale and buyer’s stated suitability position point towards providers with substantial infrastructure, delivery capability and support resources rather than small specialist firms working without a framework presence.
