Public Sector Connectivity & Technology

You can engage us directly for a quote and project, and through public funding routes where they apply — for example the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, where we are a registered supplier. We are happy to provide the documentation, references and value-for-money evidence that public procurement requires.

We are also a Crown Commercial Service supplier (now the Government Commercial Agency), appointed to the Low Value Purchase System (RM6237). Eligible buyers can procure from us through that route — including by direct award below the relevant thresholds — as an alternative to running a separate tender.

Yes. Dragon WiFi is a registered supplier under the UK Government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, and we have delivered grant-funded connectivity including through the Access Broadband Cymru scheme in Wales. We help eligible homes and businesses understand what funding they qualify for and manage the installation against it. Contact us with the location and we will assess what schemes apply.

This is one of our specialisms. Where fixed-line broadband is unavailable or inadequate, we assess every genuine option — fixed wireless, Starlink, and 4G/5G via external antenna or a small cell that creates its own local mobile network. We install WaveMobile small-cell technology — the same used in the DSIT-backed 5G DRIVE not-spot programme — to bring usable mobile coverage to rural locations that previously had little or none. We survey the site first and recommend what will actually work there.

We specify CCTV with safeguarding, data retention and audit requirements in mind. For care settings we configure CQC-aware audit trails and access logs; for education we plan coverage around safeguarding needs and avoid inappropriate zones. Retention periods and storage are calculated during the survey to match your compliance obligations. We will advise on what is appropriate, but responsibility for your specific regulatory duties remains with your organisation.

The traditional landline network is being decommissioned, with completion currently scheduled by January 2027. Any public body still relying on traditional landline or ISDN lines after that point will lose service. We migrate organisations to 3CX cloud telephony — handling system design, number porting, configuration and staff training — with call recording and multi-site handling suited to public sector use. As a 3CX Silver Partner we support the system directly after go-live.
