## Summary

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured telecommunications network services to connect all of its sites with other regional service providers. The requirement was for a shared network infrastructure across the region, supporting secure connectivity to the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN). This is an ongoing network connectivity and infrastructure service rather than a one-off supply of equipment. The main delivery location is Bradford, at the Trust’s site on Duckworth Lane, with the service supporting connections across the Trust’s sites and the wider regional network. The procurement falls under telecommunications network services, covering the design, provision and operation of connectivity needed by an NHS organisation and its service partners.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 20 July 2026 to Redcentric Solutions Limited for £583,863.18 (including the stated currency of GBP). The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 29 April 2029. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The Trust’s stated requirement was for services, and the award covers the telecommunications network requirement as a single procurement. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with Redcentric Solutions Limited identified as the selected supplier.

This procurement shows demand from an NHS trust for resilient shared network services linking multiple healthcare sites and regional service providers, with secure access to HSCN. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the capacity to design, operate and support a multi-site telecommunications network, maintain dependable connectivity across a regional footprint, and integrate securely with public-sector health networks. Experience serving NHS or other highly regulated organisations would help establish credibility, particularly where service continuity, security and operational support are central to delivery. The buyer’s assessment indicates that this requirement is aimed at established, larger-scale network providers rather than small or voluntary-sector organisations. Framework access is also commercially important, because this procurement was made through a framework call-off.
