## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Stirling Council, a regional authority in Stirling, UKM77, concerns the provision of public Wi-Fi for homeless individuals and hub sites. This initiative falls under the "services" category and aims to enable internet access within homeless shelters and meeting facilities. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the award completed and the contract currently active. British Telecommunications PLC has been awarded the contract, valued at £42,874.40, and was formally signed on 16th April 2026. The procurement was routed through the Government Commercial Agency - Network Services 3 Framework, at the award stage as of 27th April 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and IT services sectors, especially those capable of delivering reliable public Wi-Fi infrastructure. Large-scale enterprises, such as network providers, would be well-suited to provide the necessary equipment and systems for the successful implementation of the service. The tender offers a considerable opportunity for companies to expand their footprint in the public sector by enhancing digital accessibility for marginalised communities and improving meeting hub facilities for visitors. As British Telecommunications PLC has been awarded the contract, other similar large-scale providers might seek similar opportunities in future contracts.
