UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dudley College of Technology is procuring works to replace the network cabling at its Broadway site in Dudley. The requirement covers re-cabling floors A, B and C to a new server room, including cabling points on the walls of classrooms and offices and terminating the connections in the new server room. This is a computer cabling installation project, covering the college’s premises in Dudley, West Midlands. The procurement is for a single network re-cabling requirement rather than separate service packages, so suppliers should be able to manage the works across all three floors and coordinate the connections into the new server-room infrastructure.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot, with a gross estimated value of £420,000, including £350,000 excluding VAT. The contract period is 19 October 2026 to 31 October 2029. Questions or clarification requests had to be submitted by 15:00 on 14 August 2026, and bids by 15:00 on 17 August 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. Bids are evaluated on quality at 60% and cost at 40%, making the proposed technical approach and delivery quality more important than price alone. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits network cabling and structured cabling contractors able to survey and re-cable an occupied education site, install cabling to classrooms and offices, and terminate and organise connections in a new server room. Suppliers should have the practical workforce, supervision and equipment to deliver work across three floors and coordinate a complete site-wide installation over the contract period. Relevant experience in computer-cabling installation, server-room termination and similar commercial, public-sector or education environments would position a bidder well. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than cost, so businesses able to demonstrate a clear installation methodology, reliable delivery arrangements, competent personnel and effective quality controls are likely to be well placed. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
