UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury City Council has completed the award stage of a procurement process for "Telecoms Consultancy" within the services industry category. The procurement, aimed at telecoms landlord and tenant matters, is based in Canterbury, United Kingdom, with the awarded supplier Batcheller Monkhouse LTD from Battle, East Sussex. This contract, valued at £100,000, could potentially extend from its initial three-year duration, beginning 1st September 2026, to a maximum of five years, subject to satisfactory performance. The procurement method was limited and below threshold, resulting in three bids under final consideration, all from SMEs.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs that specialise in telecom consultancy services. Firms possessing specialised knowledge in telecoms landlord and tenant issues would find this contract advantageous, as it ensures engagements through consultancy services for a sustained period, with the prospect of extension. Such consistent work can provide long-term business growth and stability. Businesses with a focus on the service industry and expertise in telecom matters would be well-suited to seek similar opportunities within this regional market to expand their operations and client base.
