UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is engaged in a procurement process for renewing Cisco DNA software licences essential for their network infrastructure, specifically targeting Cisco Catalyst 9500 and 9300 switches. The procurement falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category and will be based in the United Kingdom, region UKE. The procurement method used is limited competition, below the threshold, implying a selective approach to selecting suppliers. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 15th April 2026. The contract for the awarded supplier, Specialist Computer Centres PLC, will commence on 18th May 2026 and extend over three years, concluding on 17th May 2029.

This tender provides a distinct opportunity for businesses involved in supplying network infrastructure and software solutions, particularly those familiar with Cisco systems. Although the competition was limited in scope, this kind of procurement activity can stimulate growth for companies capable of providing large-scale software solutions and technical support. Businesses specialising in the best practices for Cisco systems would have been well-suited to compete, as the procurement focused on renewing essential network components critical to maintaining robust infrastructure systems. While this specific opportunity has concluded, similar future tenders could provide growth avenues for experienced suppliers in public sector technology contracts.
