## Summary

The procurement process involves the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust commissioning an upgrade of the Zinwave Distributed Antenna System (DAS), a project valued at £327,104.26. This initiative falls under the goods category and spanned multiple UK regions. The procurement method was a direct award, citing technical compatibility as a rationale, with critical dates including the award announcement on 7th January 2026 and the contract beginning on 20th January 2026, concluding on 19th March 2026. The award to Zinwave Limited is pending, with a standstill period ending on 16th January 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in network interfaces and transmission apparatus, particularly those capable of integrating seamlessly with existing systems due to technical constraints. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in the relevant industry sector could leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolio and industry reputation, despite the direct procurement limiting competitive tendering opportunities. The focus on specialised equipment stipulates that companies with unique technical solutions will have the highest success potential in similar procurement initiatives.
