## Summary

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured replacement core network switches to replace legacy infrastructure with modern, high-availability, enterprise-grade network equipment. The requirement covers supply and implementation of the switches, together with Extreme Platform ONE Standard Networking right-to-use licences and Premier TAC operating system support for the supported devices. The work is classified as network equipment (CPV 32420000) and is treated as a services procurement because it combines equipment deployment with licensing and managed technical support. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s site on Hardwick Lane, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, serving the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust’s operational network environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 November 2025 to CHARTERHOUSE VOICE & DATA LIMITED. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The awarded value is £255,541.50. The contract period runs from 12 January 2026 to 11 January 2029. The original tender deadline was 2 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The selected supplier is responsible for the network switch replacement, implementation, Extreme Platform ONE Standard Networking licences and Premier TAC operating system support for the supported devices throughout the three-year contract period.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS foundation trust for enterprise network infrastructure that combines core switching, high availability, implementation expertise, licensing and manufacturer-level technical support. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be established enterprise networking specialists able to design and deploy replacement core infrastructure in a live healthcare environment, manage migration away from legacy equipment and support resilient operations after implementation. Relevant capability includes practical expertise with Extreme Networks platforms, Extreme Platform ONE licensing and Premier TAC support arrangements. Credibility would also depend on sufficient delivery capacity, structured implementation planning and the ability to provide dependable support for a large institutional customer.
