Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority procured internet and cloud connectivity services for its operations across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers connectivity to the internet and cloud services, described under CPV 48220000 as an internet and intranet software package. This is a services contract rather than a supply of standalone equipment or construction work. The buyer is the Competition and Markets Authority, based in London. The opportunity is relevant to telecommunications, managed connectivity, cloud networking and network services providers able to support a public-sector organisation across UK locations. It may also suit smaller businesses, as the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 16 October 2025 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Syntura Group Limited on 1 December 2025. The awarded value is £188,365.48. The contract period runs from 5 January 2026 to 16 March 2031. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off process, with the requirement treated as a services procurement. One supplier is identified as the award recipient, and the award status is active. The contract has also been signed.

For a supplier assessing future opportunities with this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for internet and cloud connectivity delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable connectivity services suitable for a national public-sector organisation, with the operational capability to support delivery across the United Kingdom. Experience of managing internet and cloud network services in a business-critical environment would be commercially relevant. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through an established framework rather than relying on an open standalone tender. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier is itself recorded as an SME, indicating that smaller specialist connectivity businesses can be credible competitors for this type of requirement.
