Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office has undertaken a selective procurement process for the "Network Refresh" project, classified under the industry category of computer network services. This procurement involves the provision of firewalls, switches, access points, WiFi controllers, software, hosting, and necessary licences. The associated contract is valued at £4,119,611.54 and will be implemented in London, specifically at 100 Parliament Street, Westminster. The procurement process was initiated through a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting a completed tender stage with the active award status dated from 19th December 2024 to 19th December 2029.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in network infrastructure and IT solutions. Firms that can provide compatible, innovative, and scalable network solutions would be well-placed to capitalise on this contract's deliverables and requirements.
