Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Constabulary procured public sector network access for seven police forces. The requirement is for communications network services, providing access to a shared public sector network. The recorded delivery location is Royston, Hertfordshire, with a further location described as East of England. The procurement is therefore relevant to network operators and communications service providers able to deliver public-sector network connectivity for multiple forces. The stated buyer is Hertfordshire Constabulary.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Vodafone Limited on 28 September 2026. The award value is £74,436.53, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The estimated tender value was also £74,436.53. The requirement was placed through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. This was a services procurement, assessed through the framework call-off route. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Hertfordshire Constabulary for public-sector network access serving seven forces, rather than connectivity for a single organisation. Vodafone Limited was selected through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need access to an applicable framework and the ability to provide communications network services across a multi-force public-sector environment. The scale and stated SME and VCSE suitability indicate a requirement oriented towards established providers able to support this type of shared network service. For network operators and providers with relevant public-sector framework coverage, the award offers a clear example of the buyer, service scope and delivery model to monitor when planning for comparable network requirements from this constabulary.
