## Summary

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has awarded a contract for the provision of WIFI services across their estate in England and Wales. The contract, valued at £518,476 GBP, was awarded to Exponential-E under a selective procurement method, calling-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from March 26, 2024, to March 25, 2027, with the tender deadline being December 6, 2023. This opportunity falls under the services category and is suitable for SMEs.

This contract with CPS presents a business opportunity for firms in the wide area network services sector, particularly those experienced in providing WIFI solutions for public organisations. Businesses capable of offering secure internet-based services tailored to multiple locations will find this tender appealing. The awarded contract to Exponential-E signifies the CPS estate's strategic digital transformation towards a flexible, user-centric environment, aligning with GovWifi standards for improved connectivity and security.

## Notice

The Crown Prosecution Service currently operates a WAN across around 28 sites in England and Wales. Over the course of the next 12 months, we want to transition to GovWifi as part of ensuring that all services are available securely directly over the internet. We believe that using the GovWifi standard will be particularly valuable to staff who work in multiple locations and ensure that we work to a common approach across buildings which are shared with other public service providers. The provision of wireless LAN at CPS sites supports the strategic digital direction of moving towards a flexible, user-centric, zero-trust environment across the CPS estate and will eventually allow the removal of most of the traditional wired network architecture and security model.
