Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire involves a project titled "Wifi Upgrade" at Pire Hill. This procurement falls under the industry category of installation services (except software) with CPV code 51000000. The procurement process was in the award stage as of 16th October 2025. The procurement method used was selective, specifically calling off from a framework agreement. Although the tender period ended on 24th June 2025, the contract period is set to last from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2026. The service covers various locations, including the United Kingdom and international areas such as Europe and British Overseas Territories.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in installation services. It is well-suited for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the procurement's nature and suitability criteria. Large-scale suppliers like Softcat Ltd have been successful in securing the contract, suggesting that businesses with a robust service delivery capacity and expertise in working with police and crime commissioner offices would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders. The solicitation of upgrades through a framework agreement indicates ongoing opportunities for involved parties and those companies that meet framework criteria.
