Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), located in London, has completed the procurement process for the project titled "Cloud Connect and Internet Line". This contract involves the provision of cloud connectivity and internet lines for CMA offices and falls under the industry category of IT services: consulting, software development, internet, and support, with a CPV code of 72000000. The procurement method utilised is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract award phase was concluded with Virgin Media Business Limited as the supplier, effective from 3rd March 2025 to 2nd March 2026, at a contract value of £150,636.06. The tendering process saw its tender period conclude on 2nd March 2025, and the award was actively published on 12th March 2025.

This contract presents opportunities for large-scale enterprises, as the procurement is unsuitable for SMEs or VCSEs. Businesses specialising in IT services and infrastructure development stand to gain growth by building strong ties with a respected governmental organisation like the CMA. Leveraging this contract could lead to further collaborations, enhanced market presence, and credibility in the rapidly growing field of cloud and internet solutions. Large enterprises that can provide robust, scalable services and have a track record of managing substantial IT projects may find this type of procurement advantageous to compete in similar future opportunities.
