Summary of the contracting process

UK Government Investments Limited procured website hosting services for the operation and hosting of its public-facing website. The requirement falls within managed worldwide web site operation and hosting services (CPV 72415000), making it relevant to providers of web hosting, website infrastructure and associated operational support. Delivery is centred on London, at the buyer’s premises or service location represented by postcode SW1A 2BQ. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The stated requirement is focused on hosting the UKGI website, so businesses whose main capability is reliable website hosting and ongoing web-platform operation are the closest fit.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. UK Government Investments Limited awarded the contract to Connect Internet Solutions on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £25,364.16 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2030. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a completed procurement with an active award; the selected supplier is Connect Internet Solutions, an SME based in Liverpool.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from UK Government Investments Limited for outsourced website hosting over a multi-year period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide dependable managed web hosting and day-to-day operation of a public-facing website, with sufficient technical capacity to maintain service continuity throughout a long-term arrangement. Experience serving public-sector or similarly demanding organisations would help demonstrate operational maturity, although the published requirement does not identify particular certifications, platforms or technical standards. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off means suppliers should also consider securing an appropriate framework position and understanding its call-off procedures.
