Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Chelmsford City Council for a mini-competition contract concerning Wi-Fi services under RM6116 Lot 2a: Intra Site Connectivity. The contract, focused on IT services including consulting, software development, Internet, and support, was aimed at enhancing network infrastructure in the UKH36 region, known as the Heart of Essex. This process has reached the award stage, with Avoira Limited selected as the supplier. Key dates included the contract signing on 12th September 2025, with the project intended to run for three years with two optional one-year extensions. The procurement used a limited method, dispensing with the call for competition due to its alignment with the Crown Commercial Service framework.

This tender presents significant opportunities for IT service providers, especially those specialising in network infrastructure or local connectivity services. Businesses poised to benefit the most would include those with expertise in the specified CPV categories, such as consulting and development of Internet-based solutions. Taking part in such government contracts can position companies for future public sector work, allowing them to establish credibility and expand their portfolio within the regional authority market of Essex.
