## Summary

East Lothian Council procured local area network (LAN) infrastructure services for the Tranent LAN upgrade. The requirement covers network services and infrastructure supporting the council’s local network in East Lothian. It is a services contract, classified under CPV 72710000 for local network services. The council is the buying organisation and the work is delivered in East Lothian. The procurement relates to Network Services 3, a government framework arrangement, specifically Lot 2a. The requirement is focused on delivering and upgrading LAN infrastructure rather than supplying general IT equipment or unrelated telecommunications services. Businesses operating in network design, LAN infrastructure, installation, configuration and associated network support would be the closest commercial fit. The council’s public-sector setting may also suit suppliers familiar with local-authority network environments and framework-based contracting.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Switchshop. The award was made under the RM6116 Network Services 3 framework, Lot 2a, with one bid recorded and submitted electronically. The procurement method is recorded as an open procedure, while the lot describes the award as a direct award through the GCA framework. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £141,736.94. The available award information identifies Switchshop as the sole supplier for the LAN Tranent Upgrade. The recorded bid statistics show one bid, no bid from an SME, one bid from outside the EU, and one electronic bid. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award demonstrates a defined East Lothian Council requirement for LAN infrastructure and network services delivered through a public-sector framework. Suppliers with practical capability in local-area network upgrades, network infrastructure deployment and related technical services would be well placed to assess comparable future requirements from this buyer. Credible competitors would need to show that they can deliver an end-to-end LAN upgrade in an operational public-sector environment, including the technical expertise to plan, install, configure and support network infrastructure. Experience of framework-based public procurement would be commercially relevant, particularly where the buyer uses an established network-services route rather than a standalone contract. The single recorded bid and absence of SME participation also indicate that suppliers should consider how their framework access, delivery capacity and public-sector credentials compare with larger established network-services providers.
