PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council procured the replacement of its corporate network infrastructure and firewall estate. The requirement covered network and security hardware and software, associated licences and subscriptions, site surveys, solution design, configuration, migration, testing and early-life “hypercare” support. This is primarily a network infrastructure and technology supply requirement, classified under CPV 32424000. The work supports the Council’s corporate estate rather than a single standalone product purchase, and combines equipment, software and implementation services. Suppliers needed to provide an integrated replacement and refresh programme, including the technical activities required to move from the existing network and firewall environment to the new solution and support its initial operation.

The procurement has been awarded following a three-bid mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service RM6098 framework, Lot 1 for hardware, software and associated services. Insight Direct (UK) Ltd was selected, and the related contract is recorded as active. The awarded value is £591,984. The requirement was run as a quotation exercise under the framework, with suppliers required to respond to the Invitation to Tender, Call-Off Schedule 20 specification and accompanying Call-Off and Joint Schedules. The procurement was classified as goods. The stated requirement combines supply and implementation, but the available outcome records do not set out a separate award date or contract duration.

This award provides a clear benchmark for technology suppliers targeting Clackmannanshire Council’s corporate network requirements. Credible competitors would need access to the RM6098 framework, specifically Lot 1, and the ability to supply both network and security hardware and software with the associated licences and subscriptions. The work also favours suppliers that can deliver site surveys, architecture and design, configuration, migration, testing and early-life support as one coordinated service. Relevant capability therefore extends beyond equipment resale: suppliers need implementation expertise, network and firewall integration skills, migration planning, testing discipline and capacity to provide hypercare after deployment. Experience delivering complete corporate infrastructure refreshes would strengthen a future response.
