Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured an internet service on an annual rental basis. The requirement is described as an internet network service, with the associated classification referring to internet browsing software development services. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom for the Trust’s operations. This is a public-sector telecommunications and internet connectivity requirement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. The buying organisation is The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, based in Bebington, Wirral. The procurement covers a single requirement for internet service provision, supporting the Trust’s ongoing digital connectivity and network access needs.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Trust used a direct procurement below the relevant threshold without competition. The contract was awarded to THE NETWORKING PEOPLE (TNP) LIMITED. The contract was signed on 29 April 2026 and runs from 29 April 2026 to 28 April 2027. Its value is £14,602.96 excluding VAT, or £17,523.55 including VAT. The contract is active. The award relates to the single internet service requirement. The published outcome records one selected supplier, with the arrangement described as an annual rental for internet service. No competitive evaluation process is recorded for this procurement.

This opportunity demonstrates recurring demand from an NHS foundation trust for dependable internet and network connectivity delivered as a managed service or annual rental. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be telecommunications providers, internet service providers and network service specialists able to support a public-sector healthcare organisation throughout a service term. Credibility would come from reliable connectivity, resilient service delivery, effective fault response and the operational capacity to maintain network access for clinical and corporate users. Experience of working with NHS or other public-sector customers would help demonstrate an understanding of service continuity, governance and operational assurance. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this scale of requirement can suit smaller specialist providers as well as larger telecoms businesses.
