Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured network infrastructure hardware for delivery in London. The requirement is categorised as goods and titled Project_20936 – Hardware Purchase. It concerns the supply of hardware used as part of network infrastructure, rather than installation, consultancy or other services. The buying organisation is the Home Office, based in London. This is a technology hardware opportunity for suppliers able to provide network infrastructure equipment to a central government customer and deliver it within London. Businesses focused on general office equipment, unrelated IT services or non-technical goods are unlikely to find the requirement relevant. The procurement was handled by the Home Office as the organisation responsible for purchasing the equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 11 June 2026 at 14:08. The contract was awarded to VOHKUS LIMITED on 24 July 2026 for £39,985.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2027. The published procurement value was also £39,985.20. The award is active and covers the network infrastructure hardware requirement in London. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route rather than an open tender, and the stated suitability settings indicate that it was not designated as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award provides a clear indication of the Home Office’s demand for network infrastructure hardware and its use of framework call-offs for purchasing it. A credible future competitor would need reliable access to suitable network infrastructure products, the operational capacity to supply a central government customer, and the ability to deliver hardware in London. Framework participation or another route into the relevant purchasing arrangement would be commercially important, because this requirement was not competed as an open tender. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, so businesses assessing their position should consider whether they can match the scale, supply-chain reliability and public-sector delivery discipline expected for this type of purchase. The opportunity is most relevant to established technology hardware suppliers rather than general IT service providers.
