Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Information Commissioner’s Office procured network connectivity services for its offices in Belfast, Cardiff and London. The requirement covers telecommunications network services under a call-off from the Government Commercial Agency’s RM6116 framework. It is a services contract intended to provide network connectivity across the buyer’s office estate. The procurement is associated with delivery in the North West of England, while the named office locations are Belfast, Cardiff and London. This is relevant to telecommunications operators, network service providers and systems integrators able to design, supply and support connectivity services for a public sector organisation operating across multiple sites. The buyer is the Information Commissioner’s Office, based at Wycliffe House in Wilmslow, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The deadline for submissions was 3 April 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 23 July 2026 to British Telecommunications Limited, with an awarded value of £132,360. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2031. The published procurement value is also £132,360. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, rather than an open competition. The award is active and covers the network connectivity services for the buyer’s offices. No lots are identified, so the award applies to the requirement as a whole.

This award demonstrates demand from the Information Commissioner’s Office for managed telecommunications network connectivity serving several offices over a multi-year period. Competitors seeking similar work from this buyer would need credible capability in business-grade connectivity, multi-site network design, implementation, monitoring, fault management and ongoing technical support. Experience of delivering resilient services to public sector or regulated organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where service continuity, security, performance management and clear escalation arrangements are important. The successful supplier is a large telecommunications business, but the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers with framework access and the capacity to deliver consistently across the relevant locations would be well placed.
