Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South West London ICB is seeking a supplier for the provision and maintenance of Gigabit Pathway Circuits across multiple sites, including 197 GP locations, four corporate sites, and two core datacentres in London, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the Network Equipment industry category and uses a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The award stage of this contract was completed on 16 January 2025. Key dates include the tender period ending on 13 December 2024 and the contract period starting from 1 March 2025 until 28 February 2030. The total contract value is £1,900,041.46 GBP.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in network equipment and high-reliability fibre-based connections. With a substantial contract value and a long-term commitment of five years, businesses with expertise in WAN technology, particularly those able to provide low-latency and high-reliability solutions, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, the requirement for a central point of contact for case management and incident resolution offers further potential for companies experienced in customer support and service desk management. The successful supplier for this tender is Exponential-e Limited, indicating that large-scale enterprises are likely to be competitive in this space.
