Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation procured services for the Salisbury Square Development landlord and Internet of Things network. The network will support building services including cameras and lifts across the development campus and the Future Police Estates programme. The supplier is required to adopt and enable 86 unmanaged Phoenix switches handed over by the construction contractor, Mace, so that building services can be commissioned. Following practical completion, the scope includes ongoing network support, managed services, maintenance and security patching. This is a specialist information and communications technology services requirement covering telecommunications networking, network management software services and project management software. Delivery is for the Salisbury Square Development in the City of London, United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete: IT4Automation Ltd was awarded the contract on 29 July 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £619,274.82 excluding VAT, or £743,129.78 including VAT. It covers one lot and the procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer used a direct award, identified as a single-supplier technical-reasons route. The stated rationale was that the Phoenix switches were selected by Mace during construction, leaving one supplier able to meet all requirements; the route also avoided mobilisation and relied on the supplier’s existing knowledge, accreditation and security credentials. The contract is above the relevant threshold.

This award indicates demand for specialist network infrastructure support within major public-sector development and estates programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need experience adopting and managing existing network hardware, particularly Phoenix switches, and integrating a landlord or Internet of Things network with building systems such as cameras and lifts. Capability should extend beyond installation to commissioning support, managed network services, maintenance, troubleshooting and ongoing security patching. Relevant accreditation, security credentials and knowledge of public-sector building environments would be important, as would the capacity to provide dependable support after practical completion. Suppliers able to work effectively with construction contractors and estates stakeholders, while taking responsibility for an inherited network estate, would be well placed.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Salisbury Square Development - Landlord Network

Notice Description

The Sailsbury Square Development campus has a requirement for a Landlord / IOT network that building services such as cameras and lifts will reside. This network requirement was not captured in the earlier phases of the building programme and the requirement has been brought into scope for the Future Police Estates. As part of the handover from the construction company (Mace) there will be 86 unmanaged Phoenix switches. As such as specialist supplier is required to adopt these switches to enable Mace to commission services. Post-Practical Completion the chosen supplier will also be responsible for ongoing support, managed service, maintenance and ongoing security patching for this network. The decision to use Phoenix switches was taken by Mace as part of the construction contract. Consequently there is only one supplier who meets all of the requirements. The contract has an overall duration of 12 months.

Procurement Information

Change Control Notice to Future Network Programme's contract with Roc (current contract). It's a quicker route to market and removes any requirement for mobilisation. The waiver provides confidence that the supplier has the required knowledge, accreditation and security credentials to support CoL, CoLP and HMCTS building services It's also a quicker route to market for a service that is integral to the programme. There are time pressures to have this service live, to ensure there aren't any delays to the programme.
