## Summary

West Kent Housing Association has awarded a contract for Network Services titled "Network Services Contract 2026". The procurement process employed a selective method through a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6116. The contract, valued at £175,074, focuses on providing a wide area network service linking their head office with a satellite office. The service is classified under the industry category of 'Wide area network' with CPV code 32430000, and located in Sevenoaks, England. The contract has been awarded to Exponential-e Limited and is set to run from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2028, following the award date on 17th October 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network services, specifically those offering wide area network solutions. Due to the nature of the procurement process as a selective call-off from an established framework, businesses with prior inclusion in such frameworks are well-positioned. The participation of Exponential-e Limited, a large-scale supplier, indicates that businesses aiming to compete in similar tenders should have robust capabilities in delivering complex network solutions over a prolonged contract period. While micro and small enterprises were deemed suitable for this procurement phase, the involvement of a large supplier underscores the need for significant operational capacity.
