Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is initiating a selective procurement process titled "Provision of Cabling and Circuitry," aimed at sourcing a network cabling service on a call-off basis. This procurement falls under the services category and targets the maintenance and repair of data network equipment, specifically within CPS offices and HMCTS court buildings throughout the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently active at the tender stage, with an accelerated approach, and involves a Flexible Competitive Procedure. Key deadlines include an enquiry period ending on 27th January 2026, an expression of interest deadline on 3rd February 2026, and an award period concluding on 30th March 2026. The contract is valued at GBP 331,820.83 net with a contract period from 22nd April 2026 to 21st April 2029, allowing for possible extensions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity, particularly for businesses specialising in telecommunications equipment services, as the requirements include installation, maintenance, and rapid troubleshooting of network cabling. The competitive flexible approach and emphasis on technical quality and sustainability make it appealing for firms that prioritize high standards in installation, project planning, and health and safety. Additionally, the CPS’s option to sponsor Security Check (SC) clearance for directly engaged engineers opens further opportunities for SMEs who might face barriers due to security clearance requirements. Businesses capable of delivering cost-effective yet high-quality solutions stand a chance not only to secure this contract but also to enhance their presence and credibility within central government procurement frameworks.
