North Lanarkshire Council, a regional authority based in Motherwell, UK, has concluded the procurement process for the Provision of LAN/SAN Hardware Supply & Maintenance from 2026 to 2029. This contract, classified under general public services in the IT hardware category, falls under the open procedure method, highlighting a transparent procurement approach. The procurement covers goods, specifically LAN/WLAN hardware, switches, firewalls, and related services. Located in the UKM84 region, the award notice, tagged with "award" and "contract", was issued on 17 March 2026, following the contract's signing with Virgin Media Business on 16 March 2026, for a value of £7,994,000.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT hardware supply and maintenance, particularly those offering robust solutions for networking infrastructure and cybersecurity.
