Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council procured corporate internet services for its organisation. The requirement covers internet connectivity and associated internet support, within the broader IT services category (CPV 72000000). Delivery is for the council in Wolverhampton. The council is a local public authority and the service is intended to support its corporate operations. The procurement was made through the Government Commercial Agency Network Services 3 framework, Lot 1A, indicating that the requirement sits within an established public-sector network services arrangement. The relevant commercial capability is the provision and support of corporate internet connectivity to a local authority, rather than general software development, consulting or unrelated IT supply.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Wolverhampton City Council used a limited framework direct award without a prior call for competition, through the Government Commercial Agency Network Services 3 Lot 1A framework. Exponential-e Limited was selected as supplier. The contract value is £45,000, and it was signed on 1 August 2026. One bid was recorded. The award was evaluated on price. The procurement was treated as a framework call-off and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The underlying tender is complete, and the recorded contract concerns the corporate internet service described above.

This award indicates a defined public-sector demand for corporate internet services from Wolverhampton City Council, delivered through a recognised network services framework and assessed on price. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need to provide dependable business internet connectivity and the associated technical support required by a local authority. Credibility would come from relevant experience delivering managed internet services to organisations with public-sector operational needs, strong service resilience, and the ability to work through an approved framework route where direct awards or call-offs are used. Commercial competitiveness matters particularly because price was the stated evaluation basis. The scale is a focused corporate connectivity requirement rather than a broad technology transformation programme.
