## Summary

The procurement process titled "CP1936-20 Wide Area Network" was initiated by Devon County Council, operating in the services industry, specifically focusing on wide area network services. The contract was awarded on 9th March 2021, and is set to commence on 1st September 2021, concluding on 31st August 2022. The total contract value is £677,840, with the procurement conducted through an open procedure. This tender was completed, and the contract delivery addresses are located in the South West region of England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in telecommunications and network services, particularly those offering scalable solutions capable of adapting to evolving accommodation needs. Companies that are well-suited to compete in this market include large firms rather than SMEs, as the successful supplier, Updata Infrastructure Ltd, will need to provide flexible, future-proof solutions in line with Devon County Council's strategic planning and property rationalisation initiatives.

## Notice

Devon County Council (DCC) is strategically moving towards being a "Commissioning Authority" where services are increasingly delivered by partners and external organisations. Additionally due to recent events, DCC is also undergoing a property rationalisation programme to reduce and reshape their property portfolio. These two initiatives may determine that some existing locations / buildings / may not be required in the future. Equally it might also require new or additional accommodation / buildings to be included at a future date. This is also dependant on future authority's structure and policies and the accommodation reviews of the authority's buildings and assets will possibly have an impact on future requirements. The successful supplier will be obliged to reconcile those changing needs and produce flexible solutions that will incorporate the needs of the authority.
