## Summary

The East & South Ayrshire Network Cabling Framework involves East Ayrshire Council and South Ayrshire Council as the buying organisations. This procurement process focuses on the supply and installation of network cabling across various council properties in these areas, falling under the industry category of "Network Cabling" (CPV 32421000). The process was conducted using an open procedure and reached the Award stage, with awards made in December 2025. ACI Integrated Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract, valued at £500,000 for each council. The framework agreement aims to improve and maintain voice and data network infrastructures and offers a structured, more versatile cabling solution, with the contract active for an initial period of 1080 days with potential extensions. The procurement was completed by East Ayrshire Council, located in Kilmarnock, and South Ayrshire Council, located in Ayr, regions UKM93 and UKM94 respectively.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in network cabling and infrastructure services. Companies with expertise in installing multi-core fibre and copper cables, and those that can provide flexible, reactive maintenance services, will find this framework particularly advantageous. The open procedure allowed multiple bids, providing SMEs and other contractors a chance to compete effectively. Businesses with strong capabilities in delivering quality network cabling solutions can leverage this tender to secure long-term contracts and bolster their market presence in the Ayrshire region. With award criteria focused on both quality (40%) and price (60%), firms with competitive pricing and high-quality service delivery have a substantial opportunity to expand their operations and client base within the public sector.
