## Summary

City of Doncaster Council bought configuration, installation, testing and deployment of Fortinet network equipment across Doncaster Sheffield Airport. The work covers setting up the network infrastructure and integrating the equipment, as well as commissioning it for use. This is a specialist communications-network installation service for an airport site, rather than a purchase of equipment alone. The delivery location is Doncaster Sheffield Airport, in Doncaster. The requirement is relevant to network integrators and communications-equipment installers with Fortinet expertise and the capability to carry out infrastructure deployment and integration in an operational airport environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Connectus Business Solutions Ltd. The council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 15 October to 14 November 2026. Its value is £48,890 excluding VAT (£58,668 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the airport network equipment configuration, installation, testing and deployment. The award is for services and is active; the contract is also recorded as active. The available procurement details do not set out a scored evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

This award shows that City of Doncaster Council has a requirement for specialist Fortinet network deployment at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, including configuration, installation, testing, infrastructure setup and integration. Suppliers looking to compete credibly for this requirement in future would need demonstrable Fortinet capability and the technical team to deliver the work as an integrated installation and commissioning service, rather than simply supply equipment. Relevant experience in airport or similarly complex operational environments would help show an ability to work around live infrastructure and complete deployment and testing effectively. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so this outcome does not reveal competitive scoring criteria or a preferred bid model; its clearest commercial signal is the buyer’s demand for a focused, short-duration network implementation.
