Summary of the contracting process

The North Ayrshire Council is seeking to enhance its public services by installing new public Wi-Fi across its council buildings, under the title "Provision of Public Wi-Fi". This project falls under the services category within the information and culture sector and was initiated through a limited procurement method due to a previously unsuccessful mini-competition. The contract was awarded to British Telecommunications plc, with the value set at £161,000, and the signing date recorded as 20 January 2022. The procurement process has reached the award stage, and the council is located in Irvine, UK, with the procurement aimed at improving local infrastructure.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for telecommunications and IT service providers, especially businesses focused on public Wi-Fi installations and network services. Companies that possess experience in working with local authorities or organisations, particularly those who can deliver services to the community and public sectors, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Engaging in such tenders can contribute to significant growth prospects in the public service industry, allowing businesses to expand their portfolios and develop long-term relationships with local governments.
