Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has completed the procurement process for the "SCC Radio Network" project, classified under Radio and television cable services (CPV code 92230000). The procurement, which falls under the services category, involved managing annual licences, ongoing monitoring and management of appliances, network coverage, and other services deemed necessary by the Council. The contract was awarded to The Alarming Company, effective from 31 December 2024, with a contract value of £60,000. The procurement method used was limited, bypassing the usual requirement for prior publication of a call for competition due to the repetition of existing services, and the procurement stage is now at the award and contract stage.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in radio and television services, particularly those specialising in network management and monitoring solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like The Alarming Company, the successful supplier, stand to benefit the most as they can leverage their expertise in this niche market to fulfil similar future contracts. Companies looking to expand by providing essential maintenance and service continuation in the public sector should consider competing in such tenders to grow their service portfolios and establish long-term relationships with regional authorities like Southampton City Council.
