Summary of the contracting process

Dundee and Angus College bought Aruba access points and replacement wireless infrastructure, together with associated hardware, software and related services. The requirement covers technology products and associated services under the Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 1. Delivery and installation activity is associated with the college’s Kingsway Campus on Old Glamis Road in Dundee. The buyer is Dundee and Angus College, a public education body and central purchasing organisation. This is primarily a goods requirement, but suppliers needed to support the associated services element as well as provide the wireless networking equipment. The relevant classification is CPV 32412110, covering network infrastructure equipment. The procurement concerned a single requirement rather than several separately described lots.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to boxxe Limited. It was recorded as an open procedure, with the requirement awarded directly to a single supplier through the CCS RM6098 Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 1. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £225,000. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically; the bid statistics record it as a non-EU foreign bid. The award was made against the framework for the college’s hardware, software and associated services requirement. The available outcome identifies boxxe Limited as the selected supplier; the contract is not recorded as cancelled or terminated.

This award shows established demand from Dundee and Angus College for Aruba wireless access points, network infrastructure replacement and supporting technology services at its Dundee campus. A credible future competitor would need to supply enterprise wireless networking equipment and provide the associated implementation or support services required for a college environment. The route used is particularly relevant to suppliers that can participate in, or already hold a place on, the CCS RM6098 Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 1. The procurement attracted a single bid and was won by a large supplier, indicating that framework access, dependable product supply and the operational capacity to deliver an infrastructure replacement programme would be important competitive strengths.
