## Summary

The West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for telephony infrastructure works at Watford General Hospital, specifically for the new VIE Building. This contract falls under the construction industry category and has been directly awarded to Openreach Ltd, adhering to sub-threshold waivers in line with the Trust's Financial Instructions. The process, initiated under contract number WH/20/02/2181, began with a tender, and the contract became active on 10 March 2026 and is set to conclude on 23 February 2027. The project is situated in Watford, UK, with its procurement being directly conducted without competition due to its below-threshold nature.
