Summary of the contracting process

Espo procured Cisco network switches and associated network equipment as a goods requirement. The purchase supports network connectivity and telecommunications infrastructure, under the YPO Network Connectivity and Telecommunication Solutions II framework. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors, resellers and technology integrators supplying Cisco switching equipment and related network hardware. Businesses able to provide equipment through an established public-sector framework route may find the buyer and requirement particularly relevant. The procurement concerns the supply of equipment rather than network design, installation, managed services or telecommunications operation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to LOGICALIS UK LIMITED on 11 May 2026. The awarded value is £50,889 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 11 May 2026 to 22 August 2026. The requirement used a selective procedure as a call-off from the YPO 001229 Network Connectivity and Telecommunication Solutions II framework, with a direct award through that framework. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was classified as network equipment and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There were no lots or separate awards recorded.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers monitoring Espo’s network equipment requirements. A credible future competitor would need to supply Cisco network switches, understand network connectivity and telecommunications infrastructure, and operate effectively through the YPO 001229 framework route. Relevant businesses include authorised technology resellers, network hardware distributors and systems integrators with reliable equipment sourcing, order management and public-sector delivery capability. The requirement is relatively focused on goods, so businesses whose strengths are hardware availability, product knowledge, compliance with framework terms and dependable fulfilment are better placed than providers focused only on consultancy, managed services or telecommunications operation.
