Summary of the contracting process

The Howard Academy Trust initiated a procurement process for the replacement of network infrastructure at Hurstmere School and the expansion/enhancement of Wi-Fi infrastructure at The Howard School, located in Kent. The procurement process fell under the CPV category of Network infrastructure and was conducted through an open procedure. The contract was planned to commence on 21st July 2025 and conclude on 25th August 2025, with a 5-year licensing extension up to 25th August 2030. The process was fully aligned with the legal basis set by directive 32014L0024. The tender stage was active as of the last update, with submissions closing on 24th March 2025.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network infrastructure and Wi-Fi services, particularly those with capabilities in network cabling and license management software. Companies with a solid track record in delivering similar projects will find this an excellent opportunity to expand their market presence in the education sector. Large-scale suppliers, such as those with the profile of Tel Group Ltd, who was awarded the contract, would be well-suited to compete. Participating in this tender process can provide businesses with a valuable case study and references for future projects within the public education domain.
