Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow has awarded a contract to BT Group PLC for upgrading WiFi systems within sheltered housing schemes. The project focuses on replacing obsolete equipment to comply with national PSTN migration requirements, enhancing integration with modern fire and alarm systems, and improving resilience and efficiency. Classified under a sub-central government public authority, the procurement relates to telecommunications networks. This contract, valued at £37,045.65, commenced on 1st December 2025 and concludes on 1st January 2026. Despite being a below-threshold procurement, its completion marks the transition to modernised infrastructure.

Given BT Group's involvement, other players in the industry can seek similar opportunities within public sector interests marked by the necessary scale and technical expertise required for such projects.
