## Summary

The procurement process for the "Network ELA Agreement," initiated by the TEES, ESK AND WEAR VALLEYS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST, involved the direct award of a contract for network systems under the goods category. The procurement pertains to DNA software for wireless and networking equipment, along with threat defence and associated network security products encompassing support and maintenance. Located in Darlington, UKC13, the Trust aimed to cover 100 sites with multiple switches and access points, as detailed in the now-cancelled lot. The procurement method was limited, employing an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as the procurement fell outside the directive's scope. The contract was awarded to British Telecommunications PLC with a contract value of £1,411,434 and signed on the 19th of March, 2026.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in network systems and security products. Large companies, particularly those with established capabilities in delivering robust network security solutions, make ideal candidates due to the scale and scope of the services required. This contract would allow successful businesses to enhance their portfolio of clients within the NHS and the public sector, offering growth through high-profile projects and the strengthening of technical and support offerings. While the procurement process excluded a competitive bidding process, businesses in the related field could assess strategic partnerships or collaborations with suppliers like British Telecommunications PLC for future opportunities.
