UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority is procuring the goods and services needed for a data centre network refresh project. The requirement covers computing and network-related equipment, electrical equipment and consumables, software packages and information systems, installation services, and IT consultancy, development, internet and support services. It is primarily a goods contract, but suppliers will need to provide associated installation and technical services. Delivery is required across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This opportunity is relevant to technology suppliers, network infrastructure specialists, systems integrators, equipment providers and IT service businesses able to support a multi-region data centre refresh.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an above-threshold open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically, in English, by 12 October 2026 at 15:00 British Summer Time. The intended award decision date was 30 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 4 January 2032, with the possibility of two 12-month extensions and one 90-day extension, up to 4 April 2034. Its gross value is £2.2 million. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. The tender documents set out the detailed specification and submission requirements.

The opportunity suits suppliers that can combine hardware supply with implementation and ongoing technical support. Relevant capability includes sourcing and integrating computing and network equipment, electrical equipment and consumables, software and information systems, and delivering installation services in data centre environments. Bidders should be able to provide IT consultancy, software development, internet and support services as part of a network refresh programme. The geographical scope favours businesses able to coordinate delivery and service activity across all English regions, either directly or through an established delivery network. The evaluation gives substantial weight to quality as well as price, with a separate social value element, so suppliers should be prepared to evidence technical delivery capability and their wider social value offer.
