UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bolsover District Council procured internet connectivity services to improve its existing network. The requirement covered upgrading a 200 Mbps internet service to symmetrical 1 Gbps upload and download capacity, supplying a managed router, and upgrading a 1 Gbps VPN link. This is a telecommunications and network infrastructure requirement, classified under CPV 72400000 for internet services. The work is for the council’s operations in the United Kingdom and is relevant to internet service providers, business connectivity specialists, managed network providers and telecommunications companies able to deliver high-capacity connectivity with associated routing and VPN services. The named buying organisation is Bolsover District Council, based at The Arc, High Street, Clowne.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bolsover District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. SYNTURA GROUP LIMITED was awarded the single lot, with an active contract signed on 16 September 2026. The gross contract value is £18,852. The contract runs from 17 September 2026 to 10 September 2029, with a maximum possible end date of 10 September 2031. Renewal is included for two one-year periods. The award was evaluated through the council’s below-threshold, non-competitive direct-award route, rather than an open tender. The selected supplier is SYNTURA GROUP LIMITED, a London-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows that Bolsover District Council purchases substantial business internet upgrades together with managed network equipment and secure VPN connectivity as one requirement. A credible competitor would need to provide symmetrical gigabit connectivity, support the transition from an existing 200 Mbps service, supply and manage a suitable router, and upgrade a 1 Gbps VPN link. Reliable installation, network management and ongoing technical support would be important capabilities for this type of council requirement. The award also indicates that a smaller telecommunications or managed connectivity business can be selected for a below-threshold public-sector service, provided it can deliver the required connectivity and associated network infrastructure. Experience serving public-sector or similarly network-dependent organisations would strengthen a future proposition.
