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).
