UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured a building-wide cellular mobile signal booster solution for One Angel Square in Northampton. The requirement covers the supply, installation, configuration, testing, commissioning and maintenance of equipment to improve mobile network coverage throughout the building for all major UK mobile network operators. The scope includes rooftop and internal antenna infrastructure, cabling, project management, implementation, system optimisation and acceptance testing. It also includes a maintenance and support service covering proactive monitoring, annual health checks, equipment replacement and ongoing optimisation. This is a telecommunications equipment, communications network and installation services requirement, delivered at the council’s One Angel Square premises.

The procurement is complete following a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Three bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. EASY NETWORKS LIMITED was awarded the contract on 17 July 2026 for £987,030 including any applicable taxes. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2029. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement outcome. The requirement was treated under a concession regime and the contract is for services. A signature milestone was scheduled for 20 July 2026.

This outcome demonstrates established public-sector demand for integrated in-building mobile coverage rather than equipment supply alone. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would combine mobile signal enhancement expertise with the ability to survey buildings, design rooftop and internal antenna systems, install cabling, configure and optimise networks, and complete testing and commissioning. Credibility would also require dependable operational support, including remote monitoring, scheduled health checks, equipment replacement and performance optimisation across a multi-year service arrangement. Experience working with all major UK mobile network operators, managing projects in occupied or complex public buildings, and providing clear acceptance evidence would strengthen a competing supplier’s position. The award to an SME indicates that specialist smaller businesses can compete for this type of requirement.
