## Summary

Amplius Living procured Cisco support and maintenance services for its data network equipment. The requirement concerns maintaining and repairing Cisco network equipment, with delivery in the South East of England. This is a service contract for an organisation based in Milton Keynes. The procurement description is brief, so the stated scope is limited to Cisco support and maintenance rather than a wider IT services requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat PLC. The award was made on 24 July 2026, at a value of £45,366. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2027. The stated tender deadline was 1 July 2026. The process is recorded as a tender, but no usable procedure or evaluation criteria are provided in the procurement details. The requirement was presented as a single package, rather than divided into lots. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Amplius Living, this award demonstrates demand for ongoing support and maintenance of Cisco data network equipment, rather than a broad managed IT service. A credible competitor would need the capability to maintain and repair Cisco network equipment and provide support throughout a defined service period. The buyer marked this opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, which indicates that suppliers should assess whether they have the scale and capacity to deliver the requirement as a whole. Softcat PLC, a large supplier, was selected, but the procurement details do not state specific accreditations, technical service levels or experience thresholds, so these should not be assumed to have been required.
