The contract, which falls under the industry category of telecommunications equipment and supplies, was awarded to Easy Networks Limited. The process, now at the award stage, began as a limited competition below the threshold. It was officially awarded on 17th July 2026, and the contract will span from 20th July 2026 to 20th July 2029. The project will enhance mobile network coverage within the building, catering to major UK mobile operators, and includes a service agreement for ongoing maintenance beyond installation.
