Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of Meraki licences and wireless access points, titled "Meraki Licences," is conducted by Karbon Homes, a public body governed by public law. The process falls under the goods category, specifically targeting the networking, internet, and intranet software packages. Although this process is in the awarding stage, it was executed through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to it being outside the scope of the directive. The awarded contract, valued at £142,499.88, was signed on 22nd November 2025, and involves the delivery of hardware to Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne & Wear. The procurement focused on price as the primary award criterion, with TruStack Ltd being the selected supplier.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities in the IT and networking services sector, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in providing software and hardware solutions. Companies specialising in networking and internet-related software packages, particularly with an expertise with Meraki equipment, would be well-positioned to compete effectively. The contract awarded to TruStack Ltd highlights the potential for businesses in this domain to secure substantial contracts by demonstrating their competitiveness in pricing and compliance with public procurement standards.
