## Summary

This procurement process was initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, focusing on the supply of a line card for switches within the network equipment industry category. The procurement, titled "DDaT26356-Line Card for Switches," involves an award rather than a tender, and was completed using a selective procurement method through a call-off from the NHS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 Framework. The contract is valued at £42,366.12 and covers the period from 10th July 2026 to 10th July 2027, with delivery to a postal address in Cambridge (CB2 0QH). The procurement is designed to suit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but not voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This contract represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in supplying network equipment, particularly those adept at leveraging framework agreements and call-off contracts. Large enterprises like Stone Technologies Ltd t/a Converge, which won the contract, showcase the potential efficacy of pursuing such opportunities. SMEs engaged in similar fields will find these opportunities favourable for exploring new markets and expanding their reach within the realm of public procurement, especially when operating under or aiming to access accredited frameworks.
