The contract, valued at £1,500,000, was awarded to OGEL Ltd. The procurement aimed to perform a comprehensive redesign of the STFC's digital infrastructure including network architecture, cabling, switching, routing, and security. This project was planned to meet the needs of the next 5-10 years with a flexible architecture robust enough to last beyond a single hardware refresh cycle.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in IT network architecture, consulting, and infrastructure implementation. Firms with expertise in cutting-edge network concepts, capable of delivering both high-level and low-level designs, and running proofs of concept, would find this project particularly suitable. Furthermore, the role involves leading hardware rollouts and offering prolonged support over the hardware lifecycle, making it ideal for suppliers with a robust background in comprehensive network design and implementation. With a significant contract value and an extensive project scope, businesses have the potential to establish a long-term relationship with UKRI and manage impactful technological transformations over the coming years.
