This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of Network Infrastructure Refresh for Borders College" has concluded successfully. The buying organisation, Borders College, located at the Scottish Borders Campus in Galashiels, UKM91, conducted this process through an open procurement method. This process, which falls under the 'Education' industry category, involved the installation, configuration, and commissioning of network infrastructure as part of a mini competition call-off from Framework ITS2008NE. The procurement reached the contract award stage, with the contract being signed on 3rd June 2025. The completion denotes the engagement of the supplier European Electronique to deliver the services required for the refresh project, with a contract value of £212,572 GBP.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in IT and networking solutions, particularly those capable of delivering extensive infrastructure upgrades on a large scale. With a preference for competitive open procedure procurement, companies with the capacity to offer robust and reliable network services, as well as those with prior experience in educational settings, would be well poised to benefit from similar opportunities. While the awarded supplier for this particular contract is a large-scale company, the fact that four bids were submitted, including one from a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), indicates that there is competitive room for smaller players in similar tenders. Such engagements not only provide immediate business growth but also position companies as key players for future procurements in the higher education sector.
