## Summary

The procurement process for the "Provision of Network Services and Equipment" by Suffolk County Council, situated at Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, is currently in the withdrawn stage as of 12th January 2026. Categorised under public authority for sub-central government, this tender initially planned for network services, including Prisma, Cortex, and Cisco equipment, was to be located in the UKH14 region. Originally outlined with a contract period starting 31st January 2026 and potentially extending to January 2033, the process has been terminated due to an extension option taken on an existing contract.
