## Summary

The University of Leicester is the buying organisation for a contract titled "Residential Managed Internet," aimed at providing managed internet and Wi-Fi services for student accommodation. This contract is classified under the services industry category, specifically internet services. Located in Leicester, United Kingdom, the procurement stage has reached completion, with ASK4 Limited identified as the supplier. The contract covers the period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028 and falls under the direct procurement method, made through a direct award to ensure continuity of service. This decision aids the buying organisation in addressing technical and resource constraints, leading to a continuation until a new framework is established by 2028.

This tender represents a significant opportunity, specifically for businesses specialising in internet and Wi-Fi service solutions, which can further benefit their growth by establishing partnerships with educational institutions. SMEs, like ASK4 Limited, which are adept at handling technical and logistical challenges in service delivery, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Engaging with academic institutions can bolster a business's reputation and open avenues for similar collaborations in the education sector, ensuring steady growth and market presence within the UK.

## Notice

This contract is for managed internet and Wi-Fi services for student accommodation. This contract is from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028.

### Procurement Information

An extension is required to ensure continuity of service beyond the current contract expiry in August 2026 to allow sufficient time to design and undertake a compliant procurement for future provision for a new contract starting Sept 2028. An immediate re-tender is not viable due to the absence of suitable framework options, resource constraints, technical dependencies, and the requirement for a new provider to deliver a full equipment refresh across the residential estate (including in-room devices connected to fixed infrastructure).
