Summary of the contracting process

The University of Kent has completed a procurement process titled "Wireless Access Points Upgrade" within the network equipment industry category. This procurement, initiated through a selective method and conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement (JISC Routing and Switching Equipment, Lot 4 - Cisco), aimed to procure Cisco wireless access points. The tender period ended on 8th June 2018, and the resulting contract was awarded on 15th June 2018, with a total value of £450,000. The contract is effective from 18th June 2018 until 17th June 2022, with delivery to the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the supply of network equipment, specifically those who can provide high-quality wireless access points and related technology. Companies that specialise in telecommunications or IT infrastructure upgrade services would be particularly suited to compete in similar future tenders. The involvement of large suppliers, such as British Telecommunications in this instance, indicates the potential for collaboration and the need for competitive offerings to meet the standards required by the University of Kent.
