## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames has conducted a public procurement process for a managed service of Wi-Fi Internet, titled "Wi-Fi 2023-2028", covering Council buildings for public and employee access. The procurement process, classified under the "Wide area network" industry category, was conducted through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. It covered multiple regions across the UK including the North East, North West, and London. The tender stage has been completed and the contract was awarded on 23rd December 2023, with the service starting on 27th December 2023 and set to run until 26th December 2028. The total contract value is £496,465 GBP. The procurement method was initially selective, later involving a direct award to British Telecommunications plc.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in network and communication services, especially those catering to large-scale public infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) not offering voluntary, community and social enterprise services can find opportunities for subcontracting and collaboration, enhancing their portfolio and market presence. Businesses with the capability to deliver wide-area network solutions across multiple UK regions could greatly benefit from the exposure and scale of such a project, given the strategic importance and public accessibility requirements involved in providing Wi-Fi services for government buildings.
