This process was conducted through an open procedure with the tender closing on 22nd April 2026 and the contract commencing on 7th May 2026, running until 31st October 2026. The procurement falls under the 'Network equipment' category (CPV code: 32420000), and deliveries are envisaged to various locations including the United Kingdom and several overseas territories.
