Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Wide Area Network Services, initiated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), has reached the award stage with an active contract valued at £396,000. The CQC is based in London, England, and the services are required for delivery, configuration, and installation at various locations within the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, and the UK. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2017 and will conclude on 31st March 2020, with a tender period that ended on 9th January 2017. This procurement was conducted through a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender showcases significant opportunities for businesses engaged in telecommunication services, particularly those with expertise in providing Wide Area Network solutions. While this specific contract has already been awarded to Vodafone Ltd, similar future opportunities may arise, especially for larger companies with the required capability to deliver such services in a vast geographical area. Businesses that are adept at handling complex network configurations and installations will be particularly well-suited to compete in subsequent tenders of this nature.
