Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has recently concluded a procurement process for the project titled "PKC11952 WAN Connectivity and associated services," focused on services within the General public services industry category. The procurement aimed to secure Wide Area Network (WAN) services and associated functions for the Perth & Kinross area. Employing a selective procurement method, specifically the Restricted Procedure, this tender process resulted in an active contract awarded to British Telecommunications plc with a total estimated value of £1,975,000. The contract was signed on 4th June 2026 and is covered under the Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN) Framework Agreement, which includes options for service extensions potentially lasting until 31 March 2035.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications and network services, particularly those capable of engaging in large-scale public service projects. Despite BT's successful bid, the procurement process highlights potential for other businesses to prepare for future opportunities by building capabilities in comprehensive service delivery and leveraging community benefits commitments, a key aspect of such public service frameworks. The selective nature of the procurement and its alignment with national frameworks underscore the importance for businesses to maintain strong qualifications and partnerships with established local authorities to maximise their chances of success in similar endeavours.
