Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for Network Cabling Services was initiated by Network Cabling Services, a regional authority based in Manchester, United Kingdom. This tender, focusing on computer network services in the Greater Manchester and North West region, encompasses the supply, installation, and testing of structured data cabling. Managed as an open procedure, the tender reached the award stage on 2nd December 2025, when Networx3 Group Ltd was contracted for £450,000. The procurement involves structured cabling across various locations, including Counter Terrorism Policing North West sites, with a contract duration of 720 days and an optional one-year extension.

This contract presents significant business opportunities, notably for SMEs adept in computer network services, given the emphasis on the installation and maintenance of cabling systems. Businesses specialising in optical fibre and copper telecoms could leverage their expertise to compete effectively. The open procedure indicates a transparent tendering process, inviting a diverse range of bidders, which included 5 submissions from SMEs. Local and regionally focused firms, particularly those within or near Greater Manchester possessing experience in conducting site surveys and working with data cabling, would be well-positioned to participate in similar future opportunities.
