## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has successfully completed a procurement for the supply of a new Cisco Switch, which is essential for maintaining their network infrastructure. This contract, valued at £22,000, falls under the category of Network Equipment and was finalised on 1st February 2017. The contract period runs from 2nd February 2017 to 1st February 2018. The procurement method used was classified as 'Other', and the tender process has been marked as complete.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of network equipment, particularly those offering Cisco products, to establish or reinforce relationships with government entities like the MHRA. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would particularly benefit from engaging in this tendering process, given the emphasis on their suitability for such contracts, but may find challenges in competing with established suppliers like Specialist Computer Centres Plc, who were awarded the contract.

## Notice

NIBSC (Part of the MHRA) require one new Cisco Switch for our network infrastructure. As a standard we are using only Cisco Switches for our network so we will stick with this infrastructure.
