## Summary

Clackmannanshire Council has concluded the contracting process to award a project for Schools Fibre Installation, under the award stage as of 4 August 2025. Situated in Alloa, the Council's IT Services department was the buyer for this tender aimed at the goods category specifically relating to fibre-optic connections and optical-fibre cables. The awarded contract, valued at £48,185, involves Computer Links as the supplier, who will be responsible for installing and testing multiple fibre optic links across various educational and council buildings. The project, conducted through a Quick Quote procurement method, needed the works completed by 8 August 2025, with a preferred commencement date of 30 June 2025. Critical for potential bidders was an evaluation based on 80% price and 20% quality, focusing on swift delivery, safety, and operational readiness during the school summer break.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the optical-fibre sector to expand their portfolio, especially those proficient in large-scale installations and project management under time constraints. Companies excelling in rapid deployment while adhering to quality standards in public access control and post-installation support are well-suited for these opportunities. The awarded contract underscores the demand for expertise in educational infrastructure projects, presenting further growth possibilities for firms associated with government and educational sector procurements.
