## Summary

The Crown Switch Refresh Project, overseen by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), focused on updating the networking equipment integral to HMRC's data centre network. This project, classified under the network equipment industry category (CPV code 32420000), was specifically for the replacement of ageing Cisco ACI switches. The procurement stage is complete, with a contract awarded via a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. Key details include the awarding of the contract on 27th July 2026 to bt plc, with the contract valued at £1,589,255. The project was centred in the United Kingdom, specifically facilitated from HMRC's address in London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the provision of network equipment, particularly those dealing with sophisticated data centre technology. Given the contract's focus, companies with extensive experience in network infrastructure for governmental or large-scale organisations are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Large-scale enterprises offering advanced and cost-efficient solutions, like bt plc, demonstrate the ideal supplier profile capable of leveraging public sector projects for growth. The rigorous procurement methodology underscores the high standards expected of suppliers in such significant national-level projects.
