## Summary

The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is seeking to establish a Network Services, Equipment and Software Framework Agreement through an open procurement process. This initiative caters to the service industry category, specifically focussing on Cisco-based solutions for network services, including LAN, internal network hardware, structured cabling, and professional services. Interested parties must note key deadlines: the enquiry period ends on 3rd June 2026, while the tender submission closes on 17th June 2026. The contract, valued at £2.4 million gross, is anticipated to commence on 2nd December 2026 and run through to 1st December 2029, with potential extension options. The contracting authority is located in Sheffield, United Kingdom, within the South Yorkshire region. The procurement process is currently in the 'tender' stage, and electronic submissions are accepted.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses looking to expand in the field of network infrastructure and related services. The framework's high demand for Cisco-certified network professionals indicates that businesses specialising in these technologies could leverage this opportunity for growth. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. Suitable bidders would have the capacity to provide comprehensive network support, possess the necessary certifications such as Cyber Essentials Plus, and maintain substantial insurance coverage. Those with an established service desk capable of managing Cisco support calls, backed by relevant experience and robust technical expertise, will find this opportunity well suited to their capabilities. The framework allows for a focused competition, with quality and price being the key criteria for award.
