## Summary

Lichfield District Council procured broadband services for its requirements, described as SCC Broadband Services. The work falls within IT services, including internet-related support, consulting, software development and associated technical services. It is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Delivery is recorded in the United Kingdom. Staffordshire County Council is involved as the selected service provider, indicating a public-sector delivery arrangement between the two councils. Businesses operating in broadband, connectivity, managed internet services, network support or wider IT support would find the requirement commercially relevant, particularly where they can serve public authorities and provide dependable ongoing technical support alongside the underlying broadband service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct procedure below the applicable threshold, without competition. Lichfield District Council awarded the single lot to Staffordshire County Council on 18 September 2026. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2028. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract is active. Evaluation was not based on competing bids: the authority used a direct award route for the broadband services requirement. The selected supplier is Staffordshire County Council, and the arrangement covers the full stated requirement rather than separately awarded lots.

This award shows that Lichfield District Council has an established demand for broadband and related IT support delivered through a public-sector service provider. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate reliable broadband connectivity, operational network support and the ability to maintain service quality throughout a multi-year arrangement. Relevant capability may include managing internet services for public bodies, handling technical issues promptly, maintaining resilient connectivity and coordinating service delivery with council teams. Suppliers with experience of public-sector governance, contract management and service reporting would be well placed to compete when this requirement next reaches the market. The opportunity is suited to established connectivity or managed IT providers able to deliver a complete, dependable service rather than a one-off installation.
