UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Recently completed on 2nd April 2026, the Wi-Fi point installation services contract was awarded by the University of Exeter, located in Exeter, United Kingdom. The contract belongs to the "works" procurement category and involves the supply and installation of Wi-Fi points. With the procurement method described as "Below threshold - without competition", the tender process followed a direct method without competitive bidding. The procurement initiation began on 19th June 2025, with the contractual period spanning from 25th June 2025 to 31st July 2026. The gross contract value amounted to £79,650, directed by Public Authority - sub-central government under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities particularly for specialist contractors like Cable IT (SW) Limited, which was chosen as the supplier for this project. Cable installation companies and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in computer cabling installation could capitalize on similar opportunities in the "works" category, especially within the UKK region. Smaller businesses with the capability to deliver high-quality services despite the lack of competition in below-threshold projects could find chances for expansion and recognition in public sector projects carried out by established organisations such as universities. This specificity further broadens the scope for niche technological suppliers aiming to secure government contracts that contribute to infrastructure enhancements.
