Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has concluded the public procurement process for the "CLS Project_9830 Law Enforcement Domain Name Service Hosting (LECN DNS)" in the industry category of Internet network services. Located in England, the procurement sought services to be delivered across a wide region including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the United Kingdom with a contract running from 30th May 2025 to 30th May 2030. This selective procurement method was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, reaching its award stage with a total contract value of £9,000,000. Key dates include the tender period concluding on 29th May 2025 and the award being published on 24th June 2025. The main buyer involved was the Home Office, and the contract was awarded to Nominet UK.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for large-scale companies within the internet network services sector. It caters primarily to businesses that can offer extensive and reliable service coverage across diverse regions. The contract not only supports business expansion into international markets but also enhances a company's portfolio with governmental projects. Although the procurement process was selective, implying a certain degree of existing qualification or framework presence was required for participation, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were recognised as suitable for such opportunities, albeit this particular contract was awarded to a large entity. Engaging in government contracts such as this can significantly elevate a business's profile and open additional avenues within the public sector.
