The procurement occurred under a limited method, specifically via an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 20th October 2021, with a total value of £435,665 for a service period of three years. This project falls within the communications equipment industry category, classified under CPV code 32570000, encompassing detailed design, installation, testing, and support services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in communications equipment and support services, particularly those with experience in building infrastructure extensions. Companies with capabilities in mobile communication systems, design, and installation are encouraged to consider similar future tenders, as they may emerge in response to other projects from the UK Parliament or other governmental bodies. With a strong background in working with office accommodations and understanding the complexities of integrating new systems into existing frameworks, these businesses can position themselves for success in the public procurement landscape. ## Notice The provision of a Distributed Antenna System as an extension to the existing Landlord system within office space occupied by the Contracting Authority including the supply of equipment, detailed design, installation, testing, commissioning and Service and Support over a 3-year term. ### Lot Information Lot 1 UK Parliament intends to contract with ExcelRedstone Converged Solutions Limited for the provision of a Distributed Antenna System as an extension to the existing Landlord system to service an office building occupied by the Contracting Authority consistent with its responsibilities under the lease. ### Procurement Information UK Parliament has entered into a new lease for office accommodation in Central London. The Landlord has an existing In-Building Cellular solution to support their own mobile communications which is capable of being extended for the accommodation UK Parliament is occupying. The Landlord has supplied the digital Distributed Antenna System 'back-bone' (first-fix) infrastructure throughout the building as part of their CAT A works undertaken by the Landlord contracted to ISG. ExcelRedstone Converged Solutions Limited completed this Distributed Antenna System as a subcontractor to ISG under this contract. The Landlord has a contract with Avison Young as the Building Managing Agent who have also appointed ExcelRedstone Converged Solutions Limited for the maintenance of the existing Distributed Antenna System. The proposed system within Landlord office space is an extension to the landlord system which is a different system to that the Authority usually operates. The Landlord system already has connection to EE, O2 and Vodafone with capacity to support the number of subscribers on the floors occupied by the Authority. Therefore, the proposed scope is an extension of the existing Landlord system as introducing a new system based on the Authority's existing system would mean a further requirement for new base stations from the mobile operators which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance together with the associated costs. Accordingly, Regulation 32(5)(b) "the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance" is deemed to apply. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026241-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Oct 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £435,665 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 0AA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI32 Westminster | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EXCELREDSTONE CONVERGED SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32570000 - Communications equipment ## Release History - 20 Oct 2021 at 10:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026241-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/parliamentuk/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
