TRINITY Design and SI Competition - The Authority will procure a Design and System Integration Delivery (DSID) partner for a maximum of 9 years (5+2+1+1), covering the development of a through life detailed technical design for a deployable WAN to suit portable and military vehicle variants. The contract scope will also include the management of changes to the designs, service management, system integration activities to deliver an operable system, and the possible supply of some or all of the components required to provide the capability for each of the variants. The appointed Contractor will be required to produce system and sub-system designs for the operation of the Deployable WAN capability, and also provide an operating system. At the Authority’s discretion, the Contractor will either supply some or all of the components in accordance with the approved designs. Any components not supplied by the Contractor will be procured by the Authority via a second procurement stage, at the end of the design phase. Upon delivery of the components the DSID Contractor will integrate all variants into an operable solution. The DSID Contractor will then provide an on-going service to evolve the solution as new technology is identified, or changes are requested by users. The scope of the contract will also include the provision of a System Design Authority Service and Service Management activities, and the possibility for the Authority to procure resource on a call off basis for the completion of additional tasks supporting the Trinity programme This procurement is exempt from the application of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR) and the Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 (DSPCR) pursuant to Regulation 7(1)(a) of the DSPCR in order to protect the essential security interests of the UK. The obligations, rights and remedies under the PCR and/or DSPCR therefore do not apply to this procurement. The Authority reserves the right to incorporate a Security Aspects Letter into the contract, in addition to other security related Terms and Conditions. The Authority also reserves the right to amend any condition related to security of information to reflect any changes in national law or government policy, whether in respect of the applicable protective marking scheme, specific proactive markings given, the aspects to which any protective marking applies or otherwise. Those suppliers which are successfully down selected should have List X or Provisional List X status by Contract Award. The Authority reserves the right not to take forward any Applicants who do not hold List X or Provisional List X status by the point of Contract Award.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about Network in the UK public sector.
What counts as network infrastructure procurement?
Network procurement covers local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) infrastructure, structured cabling, switches and wireless access points, and the connectivity, security, maintenance and upgrade contracts that keep an estate's network running.
Where are network contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together network tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.
If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Network work is mostly called off from YPO, Crown Commercial Service and Jisc network frameworks, and cabling is often a lot inside estates or ICT frameworks.
How do you win network contracts?
Network tenders are scored on design, resilience, migration approach, managed service levels and whole-life cost. Many contracts are refreshes of an existing estate, so migration experience counts.
What do you need to bid for network contracts?
Network suppliers working on government networks may need security-cleared staff, cabling must follow BS EN 50174, and buyers expect alignment with NCSC guidance. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.
Do network contracts run through frameworks?
Often. National network and connectivity framework agreements sit alongside one-off tenders from individual councils, NHS trusts and universities.
How is network work bought, and who buys it?
Network buying is mostly call-offs from YPO's Network Connectivity and Telecommunication Solutions and the Network Services frameworks, and subscription renewals, and some buyers run early market engagement for equipment reseller panels. Councils, government departments, NHS and ambulance bodies and water companies are the buyers of network services.
How do I find network contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read digital and technology strategies, licence and contract renewal dates, architecture reviews and early market engagement notices, which show network work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
Which CPV codes cover network infrastructure?
Network notices carry 32420000 (Network equipment), 32424000 (Network infrastructure) and 32421000 (Network cabling).
