Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by NHS England involved the provision of Virgin Media Internet circuits for Bourne House in Durham. Falling under the industry category of Telecommunications services (CPV Code 64200000), the contract value was £16,509.80. This award is notable for its 'direct' procurement method, entailing a single tender action below the threshold. The procurement stage is marked as 'Award' with the completion of the tender, and the contract period starts on 18th April 2024, ending on 17th April 2026. Notably, the main buyer NHS England is located at Wellington Place, Leeds, with the supplier being Virgin Media Limited, based in Reading.

For businesses looking to enhance their presence in the telecommunications sector, this type of direct procurement by large public entities like NHS England can signal lucrative opportunities, especially for those with large operational capacities.
