Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Cabinet Office, with its headquarters at 70 Whitehall, London, concerns the "DC PSN to AWS circuit" project. This initiative focuses on interconnection services under the CPV code 64221000, specifically establishing a PSN to AWS connection. The service contract, valued at £49,125.31, runs from 4th December 2024 to 3rd December 2026, and is vital for operations throughout the United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, with a tender period ending on 1st December 2024. An award was made to INSIGHT UK on 30th January 2025, and the contract was subsequently published on 18th February 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as it suggests a preference for businesses of this scale. The project is well-suited to businesses specialising in digital infrastructure and interconnection services. Companies with expertise in AWS services and telecommunications, particularly those comfortable operating within public sector frameworks, will find this opportunity advantageous, enabling them to establish a foothold within governmental contracting. The conclusion of this agreement reinforces the strategic importance of reliable interconnection services, paving the way for similar future opportunities.
