Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured continued services for the Law Enforcement Community Network (LECN), centred on a Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) High Assurance solution. The requirement is for network infrastructure and associated services supporting a secure, high-assurance wide area network. The work is delivered in London, for the Home Office. This is a services contract rather than a purchase of standalone equipment, with the emphasis on maintaining provision of the SD-WAN solution. Businesses specialising in secure network infrastructure, managed wide area networking and high-assurance connectivity would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they support public-sector or law-enforcement networking environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Home Office used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with a submission deadline of 1 June 2026 at 12:00. Fujitsu Services Ltd was awarded the contract on 30 June 2026 for £31.1 million. The contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2029. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The awarded supplier is Fujitsu Services Ltd, and the award remains active.

This award demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from the Home Office for high-assurance SD-WAN services supporting the Law Enforcement Community Network. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability in secure network infrastructure, software-defined wide area networking, service continuity and the operational management of high-assurance connectivity. Experience of delivering resilient managed network services in sensitive public-sector or law-enforcement settings would be commercially relevant. The use of a framework call-off shows that access to an appropriate framework route can be important for reaching this buyer. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs, indicating that future competition for this requirement is likely to favour suppliers with significant organisational capacity and delivery resources.
