## Summary

Edinburgh Napier University has awarded a contract for the provision of Managed Internet Connectivity Services for its student accommodation sites in Edinburgh, with service coverage expected at several locations, including Bainfield Drive and Slateford Road. The procurement process utilised an open procedure and has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 16th July 2025 and valued at £148,917. The main procurement category is services, specifically targeting the education sector, and was overseen by a tender period ending on 17th December 2024, with the contract active from the start of the award period on the following day. Interested businesses had until the tender submission deadline to electronically submit proposals.

The contract opens up opportunities for businesses specialising in providing consistent and optimum managed internet services, including both Wi-Fi and wired connections, to thrive by meeting the robust service demands for university accommodation. Companies like Wifinity Ltd, which was awarded the contract, exemplify the potential for growth in the education sector by delivering essential infrastructure services. Businesses capable of ensuring seamless and 24/7 coverage would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The contract, with an initial term of 36 months and the possibility of extension, presents a significant opportunity for large-scale service providers to expand their portfolios in a key regional market. Firms must demonstrate financial robustness, with a requirement for a minimum turnover double the contract value, along with holding sufficient indemnity insurances. The inclusion of community benefits further highlights the importance of societal contributions tied to the contract.
