Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust procured business-grade internet connectivity through 1,000/1,000 Mb/s leased lines for Royal Derby Hospital and Queen’s Hospital. The requirement is for symmetrical high-capacity Wi-Fi or network connectivity services supporting hospital sites and their operational communications. The work falls within internet services (CPV 72400000) and is delivered across the Trust’s hospital locations in Derby and Burton. This is a telecommunications service requirement rather than a supply of equipment or construction work. Suppliers would need to provide reliable leased-line connectivity suitable for critical healthcare environments, with service delivery coordinated across more than one NHS hospital site.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one completed lot. The contract for Wifi Leased Lines was awarded to Spark TSL. The contract was signed on 10 June 2026 and runs from 10 June 2026 to 18 May 2027. Its value is £19,465.68 excluding VAT, or £23,358.81 including VAT. The contracted service is 1,000/1,000 Mb/s leased-line connectivity for Royal Derby Hospital and Queen’s Hospital, for a 12-month requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the direct, below-threshold route rather than a competitive tender.

This award indicates demand from an NHS foundation trust for resilient, high-capacity leased-line internet services across hospital sites. Competitors seeking to be credible for a future requirement of this type would need the infrastructure, engineering capability and service-management capacity to deliver symmetrical 1,000/1,000 Mb/s connectivity at multiple healthcare locations. They would also need to demonstrate dependable installation, monitoring, fault response and ongoing support in an environment where communications underpin clinical and operational activity. Relevant telecommunications experience, robust network resilience and the ability to coordinate delivery across hospital estates would strengthen a supplier’s position. The incumbent supplier is a large business, indicating that scale and operational capacity may be relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
