The University of South Wales, a public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, has completed a procurement process for the award of a contract for data cabling works, located in Pontypridd, UK (Region UKL15). The contract, identified as SSJ117, involves the supply and installation of external microducts and fibres to connect into the Calon Building. The process was conducted through a direct procurement method, classified as "Below threshold - without competition," and has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 3rd March 2026.
