Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured voice and data cabling services for its ICT estate. The requirement covers the supply, installation and maintenance of voice and data cabling systems, currently based on Tyco/AMP standards. It also includes associated ICT electrical work, including electrical connections for ICT equipment, the supply, installation and maintenance of uninterruptible power supplies, and the supply, installation and maintenance of CCTV equipment. The work is for the council’s operations across Staffordshire. The procurement is classified as network-related work (CPV 32400000) and was treated as a goods procurement. It brings together cabling, ICT power infrastructure, electrical installation and security systems, so relevant suppliers are likely to be network infrastructure contractors able to provide both installation and ongoing maintenance services.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. It comprised one completed lot and a single-supplier framework without reopening competition; the council will obtain quotations for individual pieces of work as required. Three bids were received and one reached the final stage. Evaluation was based on price weighted at 70% and quality at 30%. The award was made to Network Installation Solutions Limited on 21 July 2026 for £300,000 gross. The awarded contract period is 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with one optional 12-month renewal extending the maximum period to 31 July 2030. The tender’s estimated value was £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The tender submission deadline was 15 June 2026, with award decisions due by 2 July 2026.

This award demonstrates established demand from Staffordshire County Council for an integrated ICT infrastructure and security contractor rather than a cabling-only supplier. A credible future competitor would need to design, supply, install and maintain voice and data cabling, work to Tyco/AMP or equivalent current standards, and undertake related electrical connections for ICT equipment. Capability in UPS supply, installation and maintenance, CCTV installation and maintenance, and associated security services would strengthen a bid. The requirement suits a supplier able to provide responsive, individual works under a single-supplier arrangement, with sufficient operational capacity to combine planned installations, maintenance and electrical tasks. The competition also shows that an SME can reach award, while evaluation places greater emphasis on price than quality.
