## Summary

The procurement process for the "Manchester WAN" contract, initiated by The Big Lottery Fund, aims to relocate all fibre and ADSL bundled services to support its regional office in Manchester, specifically in the North West of the United Kingdom. This tender was concluded with the contract awarded on 2nd November 2017, following a selective procurement method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to commence on 1st January 2018 and will run until 1st January 2020, with a total awarded value of £13,232.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications sector, especially companies that specialise in wide area networks or similar services. Given the scale and scope of the project, larger companies with established infrastructure capabilities will find it advantageous to engage in similar future tenders, potentially opening avenues for collaboration or subcontracting arrangements. Businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the public sector, particularly those offering innovative solutions in network services, are well-suited to tap into these opportunities.
