Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Espo procured computer-related equipment, specifically Cisco network switches and associated network equipment, for delivery in the East Midlands. The requirement was an additional purchase under the YPO 001229 Network Connectivity and Telecommunication Solutions II framework. It is a goods procurement managed by Espo, based in Enderby, Leicester. The scope concerns supplying network switching hardware and related equipment rather than installation, managed services or telecommunications provision. Businesses specialising in Cisco network infrastructure, enterprise switching products and the supply of compatible networking equipment would find the subject matter relevant. The framework route indicates that the requirement formed part of an established purchasing arrangement for network connectivity and telecommunication solutions.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the YPO 001229 framework, using a direct award route. The contract was awarded to LOGICALIS UK LIMITED on 19 August 2026 for £54,259 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 17:00. The requirement was evaluated within the framework call-off process; the published data does not set out separate price, quality or technical weightings. The award is active, and the awarded supplier is the only supplier identified for this procurement.

For suppliers assessing comparable public-sector demand, this award shows Espo buying Cisco network switches and equipment through the YPO connectivity and telecommunications framework, at a modest, focused scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong product knowledge across Cisco switching hardware, the ability to identify compatible equipment quickly, and reliable fulfilment for an East Midlands public-sector buyer. Experience of working through framework call-offs and direct-award purchasing would be commercially relevant, as would the operational capacity to supply equipment within a defined contract period. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist networking firms may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate dependable supply, technical understanding and public-sector framework capability.
