## Summary

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust has completed a selective procurement process for the supply of Juniper networking hardware and support. The procurement, titled "UHSussex Juniper", falls under the 'Network Infrastructure' industry category. It involved the call-off from a framework agreement, focusing on the geographical location of Worthing, UK, with the products being delivered potentially beyond British territories and globally. The contract, awarded to SOFTCAT PLC, commenced on 28th February 2025 and will run until 1st January 2030, marking the procurement at its award stage as of 7th July 2025. The total value of the award stood at £1,163,190 GBP, showcasing a significant investment in the Trust's technological infrastructure.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale suppliers in the network infrastructure sector, given the substantial amount and long contract duration. Businesses experienced in providing high-quality networking solutions and support can benefit by positioning themselves as key technology providers to prominent public sector organisations like the NHS. The established framework agreement approach indicates that compatible suppliers already within such frameworks are most suited to compete, emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong credentials and relationships within public sector procurement circles.
