## Summary

The procurement process for the SDWAN project, managed by the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire, has been completed. This tender pertains to the hardware industry and involves the provision of hardware licences and support. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, awarded to Softcat Ltd, will span from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2031, with primary delivery locations across the United Kingdom and beyond, including Europe and the British Overseas Territories. The active award stage of the process was concluded on 1st May 2026.

This contract offers significant business opportunities, particularly for large companies experienced in hardware solutions. Given the extensive geographical coverage and the industry's demands, businesses capable of delivering high-quality hardware support and maintenance over a prolonged period will find this tender advantageous. The contract does not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that established companies like Softcat Ltd, with substantial resources and scale, are well-suited to compete in this arena. This procurement reflects opportunities for firms aiming to enhance their public sector portfolio, particularly those already integrated within framework agreements.
