Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council procured the replacement of its network switch and Wi-Fi infrastructure estate-wide, including improvements at Catmose House in Oakham and associated council locations. The requirement is for network infrastructure goods, covering the hardware and infrastructure needed to refresh wired switching and wireless connectivity across the council estate. This is a council-wide technology infrastructure requirement rather than a standalone building refurbishment or general IT support service. Businesses suited to this type of work are network infrastructure suppliers, systems integrators and specialist connectivity contractors able to supply and implement switch and Wi-Fi equipment across multiple public-sector premises. The buyer is Rutland County Council, based at Catmos House, Oakham, and the delivery area is within its estate in Rutland.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. It had one completed lot. ATN CONSULTANCY LIMITED received the active award on 22 December 2025. The associated contract was signed on the same date and runs from 22 December 2025 to 21 December 2030. Its value is £71,689.49 excluding VAT and £86,027.39 including VAT. The award covers network infrastructure goods for the council-wide switch and Wi-Fi refresh. The published outcome identifies a single supplier and does not set out a scored evaluation basis, competitive tender, or separate lot awards. The five-year contract period indicates a planned, estate-wide infrastructure refresh delivered under a single below-threshold arrangement.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for estate-wide switching and Wi-Fi infrastructure from Rutland County Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply network infrastructure hardware and provide the technical capability to refresh both wired switching and wireless connectivity across multiple council premises. It would also need sufficient delivery capacity to coordinate work across an estate, maintain service continuity during installation, and support infrastructure deployed in operational public buildings. Experience integrating switch and Wi-Fi environments, planning phased technical work, and delivering consistently across dispersed sites would be relevant. The direct, below-threshold route also shows that the buyer has used a straightforward single-supplier procurement for this type of requirement.
