## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is seeking suppliers for the procurement titled "The Supply of Switches," categorised under ICT services. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following the completion of an open procedure tendering process. The contract was signed on 15th June 2021, and the procurement has a total value of £65,008.81. The location for delivery is within the region of Paisley, UK (postal code PA1 1JB), and this initiative is part of the Council’s 21/22 Switch Replacement Programme aimed at replacing end-of-life distribution switches.

Suppliers oriented towards public sector contracts and those familiar with the regulations surrounding public procurement in Scotland will find this tender particularly relevant.
