Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council procured goods to refresh its Cisco network, specifically switches and routers. The requirement is classified as network routers (CPV 32413100) and sits within the goods category. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement supports its network infrastructure rather than a construction or consultancy project. The scope would suit suppliers of Cisco-compatible network equipment and associated hardware supply, with the ability to provide equipment for a public-sector network refresh. The procurement has been completed and the requirement has already been awarded, so this is evidence of the council’s purchasing need rather than an available contract. It may nevertheless be relevant to network equipment distributors, Cisco partners and infrastructure specialists monitoring future requirements from Peterborough City Council.

This restricted procedure has completed. The tender closed on 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The estimated procurement value was between £207,554.32 and £300,000. Peterborough City Council awarded the contract to Conscia Group UK Ltd on 20 July 2026 for £207,554.32. The awarded contract period runs from 27 September 2026 to 26 July 2029. The procurement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. One active award is recorded, covering the Cisco network equipment refresh. The contract period recorded for the tender was 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2029, while the award records the operative period as 27 September 2026 to 26 July 2029.

This requirement shows demand for a substantial Cisco network equipment refresh within Peterborough City Council, centred on switches and routers and delivered through a restricted procurement route. A credible future supplier would need strong Cisco network equipment knowledge, access to reliable hardware distribution, and the operational capacity to supply and support a council-scale infrastructure requirement. Relevant Cisco certifications, partner status, technical staff and experience delivering comparable public-sector or enterprise network refreshes would strengthen a competitor’s position. Suppliers should also be able to manage specification compliance, equipment availability, logistics and implementation coordination across England. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist small or medium-sized network infrastructure business could be competitive if it can demonstrate the necessary technical capability, supply-chain resilience and delivery experience.
