Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "DS292-19 Wide Area Network" contract is being conducted by the Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service, the largest non-metropolitan fire and rescue service in England. This tender falls under the industry category of networking software, with a total value of £429,000. The contract aims to replace the current MPLS type Wide Area Network and Managed Internet services, necessitated by the end of the current contract term. The contract is set to commence on 9th November 2020 and run until 8th November 2023. This procurement utilises a selective method, with the procurement stage being complete as of the awarded contract date on 28th February 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT and networking services, due to the specific requirements of managing critical emergency services networks.
