Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Wide Area Network (WAN) contract is initiated by the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority. This complete tender process relates to the telecommunications industry, specifically involving the establishment of a robust MPLS circuit-based WAN that will interconnect 57 DWFRS sites across Dorset and Wiltshire. The contract, awarded to British Telecommunications PLC, is valued at £662,507 and has a contract period starting from 10th September 2018 and concluding on 9th September 2025. The tender was originally published on 25th September 2018, following a short form further competition under the framework agreement RM1045 Network Services.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and network services, particularly those equipped to provide operationally robust solutions for large geographic areas. Given its scope, companies with experience in delivering complex WAN implementations, particularly those with a strong understanding of military, emergency service, and public sector requirements, would be well-positioned to compete. The contract’s long duration also expounds opportunities for ongoing services and support, potentially benefiting firms that offer maintenance and improvement of network services throughout the lifecycle of the contract.
