Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, titled "Wifi Installation," was concluded under the guidance of the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire. The procurement falls under the 'works' category, specifically the installation of cable infrastructure, and is located at the Staffordshire Police HQ, Weston Road, Stafford, with deliveries across locations including the United Kingdom and Channel Islands. Completed through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, the tender reached its award stage on 21 January 2026. The contract period extends from 27 January 2025 to 27 January 2028. The procurement process was designed to be inclusive of SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the cable infrastructure and networking industries to enhance their portfolios and establish a foothold within public sector contracting. With the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire as the buyer, the process included large-scale supplier Softcat Ltd, indicating that substantial organisational capacity is beneficial. However, the encouragement for SME and VCSE participation means businesses across a wide spectrum of sizes and capabilities are well-suited to engage with such opportunities in the future.
