## Summary

East Sussex County Council has concluded the "25/26 LAN Refresh" procurement process under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment. This project aims to update the Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure, encompassing around 250 Cisco devices, across approximately 100 sites in East Sussex. The process has progressed to the award stage, with the contract awarded on 9th March 2026 to MLL Telecom Ltd. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with a tender period ending on 16th February 2026. The contract, valued at £348,200, is set to run from 3rd March 2026 until 2nd March 2031, focusing on the South East region of England.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in networking and telecommunications equipment, particularly those able to provide LAN infrastructure solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in handling large-scale deployments and Cisco equipment would find this procurement particularly advantageous. Given the selective procurement method employed, businesses familiar with public sector framework agreements will be well-prepared to engage in similar future opportunities.
