The requirement covers ongoing IT support for Cisco equipment and the supply of further Cisco hardware when required under the contract. It is classified as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services. The procurement was arranged by the council as the buying organisation, with delivery activity relating to its area. The requirement was handled as a single package rather than separate lots. It is relevant to suppliers providing Cisco infrastructure support, maintenance services and Cisco hardware, particularly those able to combine responsive technical support with equipment supply and additional services. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the CCS Technology Services 3 framework, RM6100. The procedure used was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition. Cisilion Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 31 March 2025, and the recorded contract value at signing was £850,000. The value has since increased to £1,592,000 because optional future procurements allowed under the contract were taken up. The contract includes options to extend the arrangement and procure additional services and products. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. Evaluation was conducted through the framework mini-competition process. This procurement indicates established demand from Leicestershire County Council for a combined Cisco maintenance, support and hardware capability rather than a one-off equipment sale. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in supporting Cisco equipment, diagnosing and resolving infrastructure issues, and supplying compatible Cisco hardware and related services. Experience of delivering technology services through the CCS Technology Services 3 framework, or a comparable public-sector framework route, would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage optional additional purchases and potential contract extensions without weakening service continuity. The requirement is suited to organisations with the technical teams, product access and operational capacity to support a council-wide Cisco estate while handling changing demand over the contract lifecycle. ## Notice Cisco Equipment Maintenance and Support and Optional Procurement of Cisco Hardware.
