Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cantium Business Solutions Limited procured local area network hardware and associated services, including support and maintenance for existing equipment. The requirement is categorised as services and covers the supply and servicing of LAN infrastructure rather than a standalone equipment purchase. Delivery and service coverage spans the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is relevant to network hardware suppliers, systems integrators and managed network service providers able to supply LAN equipment and provide ongoing technical support and maintenance across a broad geographic footprint. The requirement sits within the YPO 1229 Framework for Network Connectivity and Telecommunications Solutions, providing the purchasing route used for this procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026, and the contract was awarded on 26 August 2026 to Conscia Group UK Ltd. The awarded contract value is £800,000. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2029. Evaluation was conducted through the restricted procedure and the requirement was treated as a services procurement. The award is active, and the tender itself is recorded as complete. The contract covers LAN hardware together with associated support and maintenance for existing equipment. Participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Cantium Business Solutions Limited for LAN hardware linked to continuing support and maintenance of installed network equipment. A credible competitor for the next procurement would need to combine hardware supply with dependable technical support, maintenance capability and the capacity to serve requirements across the United Kingdom and wider international locations. Experience integrating, supporting and maintaining LAN environments would be commercially relevant, as would the operational scale to manage an ongoing service rather than a one-off delivery. The incumbent is a large supplier, indicating that the requirement may favour providers with substantial delivery resources, broad technical coverage and the ability to coordinate equipment and support services through the YPO 1229 network connectivity and telecommunications framework route.
