Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, overseen by Cantium Business Solutions Limited, concerns the award of contracts for "Network Services" in the United Kingdom under the CCS framework RM6116 Lot 1a. The procurement, classified within the services category and involving networking, Internet, and intranet software development services, was completed on 10 March 2026. The procedure made use of a limited procurement method, citing that the procurement falls outside the directive's scope, and no prior publication was made. The tender process concluded with the successful signing of contracts with suppliers Wave 9 and CoConnect Limited on 9 March 2026, following an active awarding stage.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on broadband and associated services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in high-quality networking and software development. The contracts, pursued through a specialised procurement method, were notably awarded based on quality criteria rather than price, suggesting a robust emphasis on service excellence. As these contracts are part of a call-off from a framework agreement, they provide suppliers with streamlined access to pre-determined opportunities to increase their market presence and industry credibility in the UK.
