## Summary

The University of South Wales procured OneWeb and Starlink satellite connectivity hardware and associated services for its connectivity requirements. The requirement covers satellite communications equipment and related service provision, under a single completed lot. The buying organisation is the University of South Wales, based in Pontypridd, Wales. The selected supplier, Excelerate Technology Ltd, is based in Cardiff. This is a goods-led technology requirement focused on supplying and supporting satellite connectivity hardware from the OneWeb and Starlink platforms. Businesses active in satellite communications, connectivity infrastructure, network equipment supply or associated technical services would recognise this as the relevant market. The procurement is specific to the University’s need for satellite connectivity hardware and services rather than a general information technology supply arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University used a below-threshold direct award without competition. Excelerate Technology Ltd was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. Its value is £29,215 excluding VAT, or £35,058 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement records identify goods as the main category and satellite communications equipment as the classification. The award relates to the single completed lot. The procurement was carried out under the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023, section 54. No competitive evaluation basis is stated because the route was a direct award without competition.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from the University of South Wales for OneWeb and Starlink satellite connectivity hardware and services, delivered through a specialist technology supplier. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need credible capability in satellite communications equipment, including the supply and support of hardware compatible with the relevant satellite connectivity platforms. They would also need to demonstrate that they can provide associated connectivity services alongside physical equipment, rather than supplying standalone hardware only. Excelerate Technology Ltd is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an established provider with the capacity to support the whole need. Businesses monitoring this market should position themselves around reliable satellite connectivity delivery, technical support and the ability to meet a university’s institutional requirements.
