This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the Award stage, having been completed recently. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with a total estimated value of £250,000. The deadline for submissions was initially set for 29 May 2017 but was extended to 30 May 2017 due to a bank holiday. The contract was signed on 28 June 2017 and has options for extension after an initial term of three years. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in IT services, telecommunications, and infrastructure maintenance. Businesses that can demonstrate relevant experience, such as having provided similar public services in the past, will be well-positioned to compete. With requirements for robust insurance coverage and technical expertise, firms that align with these criteria are encouraged to consider contracts like this, paving the way for future partnerships within public sector projects. ## Notice Provision of always-on, public wi-fi to Inverness city centre (supply of hardware and related maintenance/ support services) ### Lot Information Lot 1 Provision of always-on, public wi-fi to Inverness city centre (supply of equipment and related maintenance/ support services).
