## Summary

West Oxfordshire District Council procured an upgrade to the Witney radio link system, adding functionality and supplying and installing equipment. The work included a base station in Abingdon, an aerial at Marriotts Walk and the purchase of radios. This is a combined works and goods requirement, with the installation element classified as radio aerial installation work. The council is based in Witney and the operational locations are Abingdon and Marriotts Walk. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing radio communications infrastructure, radio equipment and associated installation services, particularly suppliers able to deliver both the equipment and the physical works needed to update an existing radio link system.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure. It was treated as a single lot. M.R.S. Communications Limited was selected, with the award recorded as active on 14 September 2026. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 14 October 2026. Its value is £33,879 excluding VAT, or £40,654.80 including VAT. The contract covers the radio link upgrade, equipment supply and installation work described above. The available procurement record identifies the award and contract outcome but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from West Oxfordshire District Council for radio-link enhancement, radio equipment and specialist aerial installation across Abingdon and Witney. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need practical capability in radio communications systems, base-station installation, aerial installation and the supply and commissioning of compatible radios. The ability to update an existing setup while adding functionality is central to the requirement, so relevant experience should include integration, configuration and installation rather than equipment supply alone. A small or medium-sized specialist communications contractor could be credible where it can manage the combined technical and site-based works, coordinate delivery across locations and provide a complete operational solution.
