Summary of the contracting process

The Hyde Group procured financial leasing services for Cisco Meraki licensing. The arrangement supports Cisco’s three-year interest-free financing offer: De Lage Landen Leasing Limited acts as Cisco’s appointed finance partner, with a role limited to facilitating invoicing and payment processing. The procurement therefore concerns the financial administration of licensing payments, rather than the supply or management of network equipment or licensing itself. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom. The buyer is The Hyde Group, a housing organisation. The requirement was handled as a single lot, covering the financing service for the Cisco Meraki licensing arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to De Lage Landen Leasing Limited. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. Its gross value is £100,000. The route was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is recorded as active, as is the contract. The procurement covered one lot. The published information identifies the supplier’s limited role in invoicing and payment processing under Cisco’s interest-free financing arrangement; it does not set out a scored evaluation basis or a separate assessment of competing offers. The contract period is longer than the three-year financing arrangement described in the procurement, so these durations should not be treated as interchangeable.

This award shows that The Hyde Group has used a specialist finance partner to administer payments for Cisco Meraki licensing through an interest-free financing arrangement. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to provide reliable financial administration, particularly accurate invoicing and payment processing, and be able to operate within the vendor’s financing terms. The scope is narrow: the appointed partner facilitates the finance arrangement rather than supplying the underlying Cisco products or licensing. Suppliers focused on leasing or finance administration, with the systems and capacity to handle licensing-related payment flows, are the closest fit. The direct, non-competitive route recorded here also indicates that Cisco’s appointment of its finance partner shaped the arrangement, so an alternative provider would need to address that commercial structure as well as the buyer’s administrative requirements.
