## Summary

Brighton & Hove City Council procured Fortinet hardware for its Local Area Network Refresh Project. The requirement covers LAN equipment, associated transceivers, cables where applicable, licences, subscriptions and manufacturer support entitlements. This is a goods supply contract, classified as hardware (CPV 44316400), with delivery in the South East of England. It is a supply-only order: the scope excludes managed services, implementation, configuration, network operations and ongoing operational support. The opportunity therefore concerns a technology supplier able to provide the specified Fortinet product ecosystem and related physical and commercial entitlements, rather than a network integrator or outsourced IT operations provider.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Brighton & Hove City Council awarded the contract to MLL TELECOM LTD on 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £392,695.20, including the published GBP currency. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026. The published process records the contract as active and the award as active. The award covers the complete supply requirement rather than separately identified lots. Participation was not reserved as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The evaluation basis is not stated in the procurement record.

This procurement demonstrates a council requirement for a substantial, supply-only LAN hardware refresh centred on Fortinet equipment. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have reliable access to Fortinet LAN hardware, compatible transceivers and cabling, together with the ability to provide licences, subscriptions and manufacturer support entitlements as a coherent package. The buyer’s chosen route was a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and experience of supplying through framework arrangements would be important. The requirement suits an established technology hardware reseller or distributor with sufficient capacity to fulfil a council-scale order, manage product compatibility and support entitlement administration, rather than a business focused mainly on implementation, configuration or managed network services.
