Summary of the contracting process

On 26th February 2026, NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board awarded a contract under the title "IM&T Primary Care Digital - GP WiFi" to Conscia Group UK Limited. This contract is part of enhancing WiFi access points at general practice sites across Cornwall, supported by NHS England's capital funding bid. Located in Bodmin, Cornwall, NHS Cornwall is a central government public authority focusing on healthcare services. The procurement method employed was a direct award, completed due to technical reasons preventing a change in suppliers. The contractual agreement is scheduled to begin on 12th March 2026 and end on 31st March 2027, with the standstill period concluding on 9th March 2026. The overall industry category aligns with IT services, consulting, software development, Internet, and support.

This procurement process offers an excellent opportunity for IT service providers looking to expand within public healthcare sectors and those specialising in supporting digital infrastructure improvements. As the supplier chosen is already known for their large-scale operations, companies of similar calibre and capability might consider monitoring similar initiatives to capture future opportunities, especially when aligned with technical services. Cornwall's focus on bolstering digital connectivity provides a prime avenue for businesses skilled in technological advancements to compete and contribute to regional healthcare improvements. Such tenders also highlight the importance of existing supplier relationships, where strategic partnerships can result in favourable direct awards, thereby enhancing business growth within governmental contracts.

Notice Title

IM&T Primary care digital - GP Wifi

Notice Description

Purchase of additional WiFi access points in general practice sites to improve WiFi coverage as per capital funding bid. NHS England have approved a capital bid for the addition of WiFi network equipment in CIoS general practices. As equipment is in part supported by Cornwall IT Services (CITS) and licenced under an Enterprise Agreement covering the ICS wide Wide Area Network, we are required to use a specific supplier, with whom CITS have a formal contract for services. The contract provides a discount for services and equipment over and above the manufacturer pricing and both CITS and the supplier are content to issue the ICB a quotation under these terms.
