UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract for the project titled "CSP26168- NQCC Fibre Re Route," focusing on the installation services sector within the UK. The procurement process reached the Award stage on 12 February 2026, following a direct procurement method due to technical reasons, opting for a specific supplier without competition. The awarded contract involves the removal and reinstallation of single-mode fibre optic cables alongside a 20-pair copper voice cable, transitioning from an existing to a new route. This project has been executed with a gross contract value of £13,240.07 (net £11,033.39 GBP) and is scheduled from 6 February 2026 to 31 March 2026.

This contract, handled by UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, presents an opportunity for growth in the telecommunications sector, particularly for businesses specialising in fibre optics installation and infrastructure projects. Given that the process bypassed competition due to the bespoke technical requirements, companies having specialised skills or capacity to supply unique technology solutions can find similar opportunities with public authorities. Small to medium-sized enterprises such as 10G Networks Limited, the awarded supplier, align well with such contracts, especially if they possess domain expertise and regional service capabilities. This award underscores the potential for companies to engage directly with government projects that require technical precision and reliability.
