Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea commissioned services to replace ageing and end-of-support switching infrastructure across its corporate network. The requirement covers migration to a Juniper Mist-based local area network, including computer network and related computer services. Delivery is for Swansea Council’s corporate network in Swansea, under a single service requirement. The work is a specialist network infrastructure migration rather than a general IT support contract. The selected supplier, OPTEC SERVICES LTD, is based in Cardiff. The requirement is relevant to businesses with experience planning and delivering enterprise network switching replacements, Juniper technologies and LAN migrations for public-sector or similarly complex organisations.

This below-threshold procurement used an open competition and has been completed. The tender deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12 noon, and enquiries closed on 19 June 2026 at 12 noon. The requirement was evaluated on price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%; it was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. OPTEC SERVICES LTD was awarded the single requirement. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and has a contract period from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £41,548 excluding VAT, or £49,857.60 including VAT. The tender’s estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Swansea Council for replacing unsupported corporate network switching and moving to a Juniper Mist-based LAN. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in enterprise switching infrastructure, Juniper Mist deployment, LAN design and migration, and the controlled replacement of ageing equipment while maintaining a corporate network. Relevant delivery experience should include planning, configuration, installation, testing and transition activities, with the ability to manage technical quality as well as commercial cost. The work is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a specialist provider can be well placed where it can show the necessary network engineering capacity, delivery controls and experience of comparable infrastructure migrations.
