## Summary

The University of Plymouth has completed a procurement process for IT services, specifically data circuits connecting the three Cornwall Innovation Centres. This procurement falls under the data transmission services category. The contract was awarded on 1st August 2024 and covers a period from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2025. This was a direct procurement under a single tender action, valued at £43,811.56. The project location is within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT and telecommunications services to establish their capabilities with notable institutions like the University of Plymouth. Companies that can provide high-quality data transmission services, even if currently rated below large-scale enterprises, may find such opportunities beneficial for growth and future tenders. However, given the procurement was conducted via a single tender action, only the specified supplier, National Grid Telecoms Ltd, was considered in this instance.
