## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation involved re-routing fibre optic cables for a new Data Centre to avoid interference with the New Teaching Labs Building. The contract falls within the construction industry category and was carried out in Portsmouth, UK. This direct procurement method, classified as below threshold without competition, concluded with an award dated 5 June 2025. The contract, valued at £39,709.53 net (£47,651.44 gross), commenced on 6 June 2025 and is set to complete on 5 July 2025.

The tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in construction work, particularly those experienced in infrastructure projects like cable re-routing and installation. Companies with expertise in telecommunications and infrastructure works could find growth potential through similar engagements.

## Notice

The re-routing and installation of trenches and chambers, in order to avoid interaction with the New Teaching Labs Building footprint. The existing route of trenches and chambers are under the NTLB footprint. It is best to undertake these works early as the new Data Centre requires the connections from these ducts and chambers.
