## Summary

Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Core Network Replacement Service" under the CPV classification of Network Equipment. This tender involved the procurement of networking infrastructure equipment to replace existing systems at the main site, disaster recovery, and 10 ancillary sites across the South East, United Kingdom. The service was contracted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from the SBS DIGITAL WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS 2 FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT (SBS10510). The contract, valued at £330,895.17, began on 17th March 2026 and will conclude on 31st August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in network equipment and service provision, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the Council specifically acknowledged SME participation. The project requires expertise in both wired and wireless networking systems, highlighting opportunities for companies providing datacentre solutions or those capable of handling IT infrastructure at scale. Businesses offering management systems and support services alongside hardware could thrive, given the comprehensive nature of the required services.

## Notice

The Council is looking to procure a full set of replacement networking infrastructure equipment to meet or exceed the current equipment capabilities, including both wired and wireless components for its main, disaster recovery (DR), and 10 remote ancillary sites; the networking equipment will support each site's physical and wireless IT inter-connections both horizontally and vertically within the buildings and is to be compatible with standard datacentre rack infrastructure as well as wired and wireless endpoint connectivity. The purpose of this process is to procure a complete replacement of all Wired and Wireless Network Infrastructure Hardware, management systems and Support Services (the Procurement). To support this requirement, we have procured under the framework agreement via SBS DIGITAL WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS 2 FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SBS10510
