Summary of the contracting process

The Cleveland Fire Authority has completed a procurement process to supply Local Area Network (LAN) Equipment under the CCS Framework Network Services 3. The tender, with the title "Local Area Network," falls under the industry category of "Networking, Internet and intranet software package" (CPV code: 48200000) and was classified as goods procurement. Conducted as an award procedure without prior publication, this limited procurement method involved an electronic auction. The procurement phase ended with the awarding of the contract on 15th September 2025 to BT Group PLC, based in London. The project is to be implemented in the UK, with the organisation's hub located in Hartlepool. The contract was confirmed on 9th October 2025, amounting to £77,982.47.

This procurement offers business growth opportunities, specifically for companies specialising in IT networking solutions, hardware suppliers, and service providers that can deliver sophisticated LAN infrastructure. Given the focus on networking and connectivity services, businesses with expertise in these areas and capacity to supply and maintain products like FortiSwitch and FortiAP equipment would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The procurement's method and framework also imply that enterprises already pre-qualified under the CCS frameworks have an advantage, particularly those capable of engaging in calls without prior competition.
