Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Barnet is procuring a network-as-a-service solution for network connectivity, classified as computer network services (CPV 72700000). The requirement is for services to be delivered in London. The tender title refers to Colt and Naas, but the stated scope is network connectivity; the data does not describe specific sites, technical components or service levels. The buyer is Barnet Council, whose address is in London. This opportunity is aimed at suppliers providing managed network connectivity services, rather than suppliers of general IT equipment or unrelated digital services.

The buyer invited offers through a tender process. The stated estimated value is £452,300. The contract period was set to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The submission deadline was 30 September 2026 at 00:00 UK time. The supplied tender information does not describe an evaluation basis, eligibility requirements, lots or a distinct enquiry deadline. The procurement method is not stated. The process data records the tender as active, but the published submission deadline has passed; the opportunity should therefore be understood as having reached the tender stage, not as a current invitation to submit. No cancellation or withdrawal is recorded.

This requirement may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, which the buyer marked as suitable. Suppliers with the capability to provide network connectivity as a managed service in London are the most directly relevant. The three-year contract period indicates a requirement to support service delivery over a sustained term, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate the operational capacity and experience needed for ongoing network provision. No particular accreditation, technical standard, minimum scale, staffing profile or past-performance threshold is stated in the supplied tender information, so the specific qualification burden cannot be established from these details. The commercial fit is strongest for network operators and managed connectivity providers able to deliver the service described, rather than businesses whose offer is limited to unrelated IT services.
