Summary of the contracting process

The Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Supply and Provision of Council's Wide Area Network (WAN)" via the CCS RM6116 Framework. This procurement falls under the services category and covers wide area network services, classified under CPV 72720000. The contract, awarded to Virgin Media Business Limited, was a direct award with a total value of £2,100,000. The region involved is UKG36, specifically Dudley. The procurement method was limited, and the contract was signed on 17th November 2025. The award process bypassed prior publication due to specific regulatory scope considerations.

This procurement represents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications services, especially those capable of deploying and maintaining wide area networks. As the contract was directly awarded through a recognised framework, companies with established reputations and capable of aligning with government procurement processes stand a strong chance. Although the bidding was non-competitive in this instance, understanding such frameworks can benefit businesses seeking similar future tenders. Large-scale providers, akin to Virgin Media Business Limited, are well-suited to benefit from similar opportunities due to their comprehensive service offerings and compliance with the structured procurement procedures set by authorities like the Dudley Borough Council.
