## Summary

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured resilient metropolitan-area network connectivity for six UCLH sites in London. The requirement covers one uplink to three distribution switches located across three locations, using diverse optical fibre links between building cabinets. The work involves providing OS2 fibre from cabinet to cabinet so that network connections remain resilient if a route fails. This is a specialist wide area network service, classified under CPV 72720000, with a works category applied to the procurement. Delivery is associated with London, including the NW1 2AF area. The buyer is the NHS Foundation Trust, so suppliers serving critical healthcare environments and connecting multiple operational sites would find the requirement most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a restricted procedure above threshold. The submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 5pm. The estimated procurement value was between £108,245 and £185,218.81. SERBUS HEALTH LIMITED was awarded the contract on 17 August 2026 for £108,245. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded procurement category is works, although the requirement concerns wide area network connectivity and fibre infrastructure across six UCLH sites.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to design, install and support resilient metropolitan or wide area network infrastructure across several healthcare sites. Relevant capability includes route-diverse fibre deployment between building cabinets, OS2 fibre installation, optical link testing and commissioning, and reliable uplinks into distribution switching infrastructure. Suppliers should be able to coordinate work across multiple London locations while protecting continuity for critical hospital operations. Experience delivering secure, highly available connectivity in complex estates would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where access, change control and service resilience are important. The award and the buyer’s use of a restricted, above-threshold procedure indicate a requirement suited to established network and fibre infrastructure providers with sufficient delivery capacity.

## Notice

The requirement is to provide a resilient MAN network connectivity for the six UCLH sites with one uplink to three distribution switches in three locations. To provide OS2 fibre from building cabinet to building cabinet using diverse links.
