Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Network Services and Equipment" by Suffolk County Council, situated at Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, is currently in the withdrawn stage as of 12th January 2026. Categorised under public authority for sub-central government, this tender initially planned for network services, including Prisma, Cortex, and Cisco equipment, was to be located in the UKH14 region. Originally outlined with a contract period starting 31st January 2026 and potentially extending to January 2033, the process has been terminated due to an extension option taken on an existing contract.

Despite its cancellation, such tenders present significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in computer network services. Companies with expertise in hardware and software solutions, particularly those that cater to public sector needs, will find these opportunities beneficial for showcasing their products and expanding their market presence. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in this industry should be well-positioned to compete in future tenders of this type due to their adaptability and specialised offerings, aligning perfectly with the technical requirements of such projects.
