Summary of the contracting process

Salix Finance Ltd procured office WiFi services for its Salix Office at Manchester Centre. The requirement covers information technology services, specifically the provision or support of office wireless networking. It was structured as a call-off under the Network Services 3 framework, linking the requirement to an established network-services purchasing route. The buyer is Salix Finance Ltd, a public body based in London, while the operational delivery location is Manchester. Businesses relevant to this requirement include network infrastructure providers, managed WiFi specialists and IT services companies able to design, supply, configure and support business wireless connectivity. The procurement relates to a single office requirement rather than a wider programme of works or a multi-site service. The selected supplier was Converge Technology Solutions.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Salix Finance Ltd selected Converge Technology Solutions through a limited procedure described as an award without prior publication of a call for competition. The route was a call-off under the Network Services 3 framework, following prior market testing. Two bids were recorded, and evaluation was based on price. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 for £42,061.34 including the published contract value in GBP. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The requirement was associated with one lot, which was marked as cancelled in the tender information, while the award and contract records show an active award and active contract for Converge Technology Solutions.

This procurement indicates demand from Salix Finance Ltd for office wireless networking delivered through a public-sector network-services framework. Suppliers positioned for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in business WiFi and wider network services, including network design, wireless access-point deployment, configuration, security, connectivity testing, troubleshooting and ongoing technical support. Experience of delivering reliable connectivity in occupied office environments would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where work must be coordinated with the buyer and completed with limited disruption. The award was made following market testing and on a price basis, so competitors would need a clear, costed service model as well as evidence that they can meet the technical requirement. Experience of framework call-offs and public-sector contracting would also be relevant.
