Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board procured telecommunications network services for its London office: installation of wide area network (WAN), local area network (LAN) and Wi-Fi services. The requirement covered the organisation’s London estate and was intended to support integrated connectivity across its services. The work was described as an installation call-off from a framework, covering WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi provision rather than a standalone equipment purchase. The buyer is the Construction Industry Training Board, a public organisation focused on education and skills in the construction sector. The selected supplier was Wavenet, a large telecommunications business based in Solihull. The requirement was linked to the buyer’s existing network environment and its need for compatible, integrated services across the organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The buyer used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, making a framework call-off for additional services. The stated rationale was that using the supplier from a previous tender was essential for technical compatibility, integration across the organisational estate, delivery and performance. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The award to Wavenet was active and dated 28 July 2026. The active contract is valued at £949,980.67 including the stated currency of GBP. The single lot covering WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi installation is marked cancelled, although the award and contract associated with it are recorded as active. No contract period is provided.

This award shows that the Construction Industry Training Board buys integrated network installation through framework call-offs, with compatibility across an existing organisational estate treated as essential. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in WAN, LAN and Wi-Fi installation, together with the technical expertise to integrate and operate these services within an established network environment. Experience of delivering connected services as a single integrated solution would be important, rather than supplying an isolated network component. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework call-off route and demonstrate reliable delivery and performance at substantial organisational scale. The recorded evaluation basis indicates that competitive pricing matters, while the single recorded bid suggests the buyer may value continuity and proven technical fit alongside price.
