Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has completed an award process for the supply of Nexus Leaf Switches for the KW Data Centre under the JISC Network Equipment framework, Lot#3 Call-off. The procurement, classified under 'Network equipment' (CPV code 32420000), was concluded through a negotiated procedure without prior publication as per Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations. The awarded contract, valued at £118,736.10, will commence on 24th December 2024 and is set to conclude on 31st January 2025. The delivery location specified is the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Initial details regarding this award were published on 23rd December 2024, with contract documents anticipated to be available on the UKRI website within 30 days.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in supplying network equipment, particularly those that can handle high-value orders and have the capacity to meet specific technical requirements set by institutions such as UKRI. Despite being a large-scale procurement, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed suitable to compete directly in this instance. However, there is potential for subcontracting or collaboration with larger suppliers like Logicalis UK Ltd, who have been awarded the contract. Businesses in the IT and telecommunications equipment sectors would be well positioned to pursue similar future opportunities.
