## Summary

Durham County Council has completed the award stage of their procurement process for the "Wifi Refresh - Phase 2" project, geared towards replacing old wifi infrastructure. This initiative falls under the IT services industry category, identified by the CPV code 72000000, and is located in the North East, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with an overall contract value of £299,945.52. The tender period ended on 18th May 2026, and the contract is scheduled to run from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2027. The award, made on 19th May 2026, was granted to Switchshop Limited, an SME based in Hertfordshire.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, specifically those involved in consulting, software development, and support, looking to expand within the public sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Switchshop Limited, are particularly well-suited to compete, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive internet and communication solutions. Businesses looking to engage in future procurements with similar requirements should consider aligning their offerings with framework agreements to increase the chances of selection in a call-off process.
