UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Flintshire County Council, situated in the UK and operating under Welsh devolved regulations, has initiated a direct award tender process for upgrading fibre networks for CCTV systems. The tender, titled "Direct Award for Fibre Upgrade for CCTV," targets the services industry, specifically within postal and telecommunications, and architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services categories. It covers the region of UKL23. The procurement stage has reached its award phase, with British Telecommunications PLC (BT PLC) selected as the supplier, owing to exclusive intellectual property rights and pre-existing infrastructure. The contract period is scheduled from 30 January 2026 to 29 January 2031, with key deadlines concluding with the standstill period ending on 22 January 2026, followed by a signature date set for 26 January 2026.

This procurement process provides substantial opportunities for firms specialising in fibre infrastructure and telecommunications services, especially those capable of handling large-scale projects requiring exclusive rights or pre-established positions. While the direct award limits immediate competition, businesses can strategise for future tenders by establishing expertise or partnerships in similar domains. Organisations that can leverage existing technology or intellectual property to gain a competitive edge could position themselves favourably for similar governmental projects requiring a distinctive set of skills or resources.
