## Summary

South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority initiated a public procurement process for a Network Services, Equipment and Software Framework Agreement. The tender originally aimed at setting up a framework for a Cisco-based solution covering network services, internal network hardware, structured cabling, vendor support contracts, software subscriptions, and Cisco-certified professional services. However, the procurement process, which was scheduled to end on 23rd April 2026, was cancelled on 13th May 2026 due to the identification of additional requirements and changing organisational needs. The procurement stage reached completion, yet led to a tender cancellation, indicating future opportunities for a refined tender. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure and was above threshold, with a projected gross value of £5.4 million. The procurement covered the UKE3 region in the United Kingdom.

This procurement process, albeit cancelled, signals a significant opportunity for businesses in the information technology and network services industry that can offer Cisco-certified solutions and services. The cancellation highlights a forthcoming opportunity for businesses to fulfil the refined requirements that the Authority plans to address in a new tender. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) prepared to meet specific eligibility and technical criteria, such as holding relevant cyber certifications and carrying substantial insurance cover, stand well-placed to compete. The option for contract extension up to two additional years based on performance indicates potential for long-term engagement and growth for successful bidders.
