Summary of the contracting process

OFCOM, the regulatory authority for telecommunications in the UK, has completed the procurement process for the "LAN Refresh Equipment and Support" contract. This procurement falls under the local area network industry category and aims to supply and support Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure. With an award value of approximately £832,837 GBP, the procurement followed a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the award date of 15th January 2025, and the contract is set to begin on 1st February 2025 and run until 6th July 2028. The delivery locations encompass the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the UK, and other global regions.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in network infrastructure and support services. The call-off from a framework agreement ensures that only qualified suppliers, like Specialist Computer Centres PLC who won this contract, can compete. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable for such procurement opportunities, providing them with a platform to engage in significant public sector projects and expand their market reach. This contract, with its substantial value and global delivery scope, particularly favours experienced businesses in the IT and communications sector.
