Summary of the contracting process

Aston University has completed the procurement process for the "Firewalls and Cisco Network Upgrade" project, classified under CPV code 32400000 (Networks). This selective procurement was carried out as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) framework agreement RM6098 - Technology Products & Associated Services 2, Lot 6 (Education). The contract, awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited, is valued at £1,950,000 GBP and will run from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2026, with activities focused on Birmingham (postal code B4 7ET). The contract award was made on 30th September 2024 and published on 1st October 2024. Jacob Rankine from Aston University can be contacted for more details.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for established providers in the networking and cybersecurity sectors, particularly those with the capability to deliver complex and large-scale network upgrades within the education sector. While the call-off from an existing framework limits the participation to pre-approved suppliers, businesses capable of securing such positions on these frameworks will find in this project a lucrative opportunity to showcase their expertise. Given the scale and specificity of the technical requirements, large enterprises or those experienced in similar framework agreements are especially well-suited to compete for such contracts.
