The procurement was for goods in the Networks category. The contract, awarded to CGI IT on 7th December 2022, has a total value of £589,650.39. The procurement stage was cancelled. The project aimed to deploy a 5G Mobile Private Network and run an innovation acceleration programme at two project sites in Northern Ireland. The procurement method was an open procedure.

This tender, though now cancelled, offered an opportunity for businesses in the networking and technology sector to provide essential services for a high-tech project in Northern Ireland. Companies capable of providing turnkey solutions for 5G and 4G Mobile Private Networks would have been well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The cancellation indicates that the project may not have proceeded as planned, but it highlights the potential for innovative technology companies to engage in similar future opportunities within the networks industry.
