Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Wide Area Network Services" was undertaken by the Hereford and Worcester Fire Authority. This procurement falls within the industry category of network connectivity and telecommunication solutions, specifically focusing on wide area network services. The tender was aimed at connecting local area networks across 28 sites within Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The procurement process, identified by the code HWFRS/192, is now in the contract award stage as of 10th December 2025, with the contract being signed on 11th November 2025. The procurement method was a direct award through the YPO Framework, classified under the limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The wide area covered includes regions such as UKC, UKD, UKE, and others in the UK, with a contract value of £1,315,564.15.

This procurement process presents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in telecommunications and network services.

Organisations with a strong presence and operational capabilities within the UK, especially those servicing large geographic areas, would be suitably positioned to compete for related tenders. These engagements not only enhance the winning supplier’s portfolio but also consolidate their position as key players in providing essential public infrastructure services.
