## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex procured the supply and installation of software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) devices, together with consultancy. The work combines network equipment with deployment and specialist advice, for the buyer in Sussex. It is classified as hardware consultancy services, although the stated requirement also includes supplying and installing devices. The process was conducted through the G-Cloud 14 framework. This is a technology services requirement for suppliers able to provide SD-WAN equipment and support its installation and consultancy needs.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to UBDS Limited. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026, at a value of £536,558.44. The contract period is not stated. The buyer used a limited procedure through the G-Cloud 14 framework, in accordance with its framework rules and procurement procedures; the procedure was conducted without a prior call for competition. The stated award criterion was price. The procurement was arranged as one lot, but that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active. One bid was recorded for the lot, and the award is linked to that lot.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable Sussex Police requirement, this award shows demand for a combined package of SD-WAN devices, installation and consultancy, rather than equipment supply alone. A credible competitor would need access to suitable SD-WAN hardware, the technical capability to install and configure it, and consultancy expertise relevant to the buyer’s network needs. The G-Cloud 14 framework was the route used, so familiarity with supplying through that framework would be commercially relevant. The award was evaluated on price, making competitive pricing important alongside the ability to deliver the complete requirement. The recorded single bid indicates that the competition in this procurement was limited, but does not establish the number of suppliers capable of serving a future requirement.
