## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by Northumbria Healthcare FM for a service titled "Public Wifi," classified under the industry category of telephone and data transmission services (CPV 64210000). The project, located in England, particularly Newcastle upon Tyne (postcode NE27 0QJ), involved an open procedure (below threshold). The procurement method was open, and the tender stage has since been completed. The tender period ended on 29 November 2024, with a contract period starting on 30 December 2024 and set to end on 29 January 2028. The awarded contract, valued at £147,850, was officially published on 29 January 2025.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and data services. The awarded contract to BT PLC indicates a need for reliable and large-scale public WiFi management solutions, creating potential for growth in similar or complementary services. Companies adept at providing data transmission infrastructure and support could find profitable ventures through such contracts. This procurement, however, was not marked specifically for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger, more established companies like BT PLC are well-suited to compete for similar contracts in this sector.
