Summary of the contracting process

The Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is planning a procurement process for Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions, with an estimated gross value of £1,980,000 GBP. Tagged as a planning stage with a direct award procurement method, this contract pertains to the wide area network services industry category. Located in the United Kingdom, the process targets a contract period starting from 1st August 2026 to 5th March 2031, with the potential for renewal until 30th June 2033. Potential suppliers are advised to prepare submissions ahead of the future notice date on 15th July 2026. The contract is specifically above the threshold, and the main procurement category is services. The specific location for delivery is unspecified within the UK, but the project will benefit from central government oversight.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunication services, particularly those providing wide area network solutions. Companies that are well-suited for this contract include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in networking services and the capacity to manage large-scale network infrastructure projects. The direct award process streamlines the procurement procedure, presenting an advantage to businesses that are already established as suppliers to government entities or have a strong track record in similar service provisions. Engaging in this procurement could enhance business visibility in public sector technology and communications deployments.
