Summary of the contracting process

LIFT Schools is procuring Ubiquiti network equipment and related telecommunications hardware for a rolling infrastructure programme across 22 schools: Lift Barton Hill, Lift Charles Warren, Lift St James, Lift Trinity, Lift Newington, Lift New Rickstones, Lift New Forest, Lift Lea Forest, Lift Green Way, Lift Wishmore Cross, Lift Broadlands, Lift Noel Park, Lift Sir Herbert Leon, Lift Kingsley, Lift Montgomery, Lift Four Dwellings, Lift Clacton, Lift Kingswood, Lift Richmond Park, Lift Percy Shurmer, Lift Aylward and Lift Winton. The goods cover computer-related equipment, network equipment, and telecommunications equipment and supplies. The purpose is to deliver the same infrastructure across the schools through a phased programme during the 2026–2027 academic year. Alternatives to Ubiquiti equipment will not be considered.

The procurement has reached tender: LIFT Schools invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 7 September 2026 at 12:00 BST, with the award decision due by 28 September 2026 at 23:59 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. It is a single-lot procurement covering equipment costs across five phases. Evaluation is weighted 75% to charges, based on the total equipment cost for the five phases, and 25% to quality, assessed through two questions. The published gross tender value is £0 in GBP, while the published gross lot value is 0 AED. Electronic submission in English was allowed through the education procurement portal. Payment terms are 30 days.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can provide Ubiquiti equipment consistently across a multi-school infrastructure programme and support phased delivery to 22 education sites. Businesses should be able to price the total equipment requirement across five phases, because charges account for 75% of the evaluation. They must also demonstrate the quality of their proposed equipment and approach through two quality questions, which account for the remaining 25%. The requirement is specifically for Ubiquiti products, so suppliers offering alternative manufacturers or substitute equipment are unlikely to fit the specification. The scale and distribution make this relevant to distributors, specialist network-equipment suppliers and technology businesses with the stock, logistics and fulfilment capacity to supply multiple schools during the 2026–2027 academic year.
