Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has awarded a contract to Wight Fibre for the provision of a 500Mbps direct internet connection at St Mary's datacentre. The procurement process, classified under the Software package and information systems industry category (CPV code 48000000) with additional classification under IT services (CPV code 72000000), is currently in the award stage. The contract, worth £12,000, covers the period from May 2024 to April 2025, with a possible 12-month extension until April 2026. The procurement method used was noted as "Other." The key dates include the contract start date on 1st May 2024 and the end date on 30th April 2025, with the award date set for 30th April 2024 due to a delay in the process.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering high-speed direct internet connections and related IT services. Businesses specialising in network infrastructure, telecommunications, and data centre services would be well-positioned to compete for similar projects. Engaging in such contracts can lead to long-term partnerships with local councils and provide a foothold in public sector contracts within the United Kingdom, specifically in the South East region.
