Summary of the contracting process

The Intellectual Property Office procured two-way radio equipment and an associated maintenance service under the heading “Two Way Radio and Maintenance”. The requirement is for radio equipment and ongoing support to keep the radio system operational, rather than a one-off supply of unrelated communications hardware. Delivery and service activity are connected with the Office’s site in Newport, Wales, at Cardiff Road, NP10 8QQ. The procurement is classified as radio equipment (CPV 32344210). This is relevant to suppliers that provide professional two-way radio systems, installation or configuration support, repairs, servicing and maintenance. It may also suit a communications technology provider able to manage both the equipment supply and continuing maintenance obligations for a public-sector site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Intellectual Property Office selected CSE Crosscom Ltd on 6 July 2026. The award value is £54,320, and the contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. This was a selective procurement using a call-off from the CCS RM6116 framework, rather than an open competition. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The requirement was treated as a single procurement for two-way radio and maintenance. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published outcome identifies CSE Crosscom Ltd as the successful supplier.

This award demonstrates an established requirement at the Intellectual Property Office for two-way radio equipment supported by a multi-year maintenance arrangement at its Newport site. A future competitor would need to show practical capability in supplying and supporting professional radio systems, including dependable servicing, fault diagnosis, repairs and maintenance over a sustained contract period. Experience of keeping operational communications equipment available for a public-sector customer would strengthen credibility, as would the capacity to manage equipment and support as one service. The procurement route also matters: this requirement was bought through a call-off from the CCS RM6116 framework, so suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need to understand the framework route and its participation rules. The recorded suitability assessment indicates that small and voluntary-sector organisations were not the intended supplier group.
