Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office procured wide area network services for three selected sites in London. The requirement is for connectivity and associated network services linking those sites, classified as wide area network services (CPV 72720000). The Cabinet Office is the buying organisation, based at 70 Whitehall, London. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The stated purpose is to provide WAN services across the three sites, making the opportunity relevant to telecommunications operators, managed network providers and IT infrastructure businesses able to design, supply and support secure multi-site connectivity for a central government customer. The requirement is specifically focused on the Cabinet Office’s three-site network estate rather than a wider public-sector networking programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 3 August 2026, and the contract was awarded to Syntura Group Limited on 13 August 2026. The awarded value is £62,611.56 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Syntura Group Limited is the single named supplier and the award is active. The procurement is recorded as complete, so this outcome describes an awarded requirement rather than a current bidding opportunity. The tender indicates that the service was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from the Cabinet Office for a defined, multi-site wide area network service delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable connectivity across three London sites, with the operational capability to manage a government network service throughout the contract term. Relevant strengths include WAN design and implementation, resilient service delivery, network monitoring, fault response, service management and the ability to support a public-sector customer with clear performance controls. Suppliers should also be able to compete through the appropriate framework route, understand call-off procedures and evidence comparable multi-site network work. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist network provider with sufficient delivery capacity and relevant experience could be well placed when a comparable requirement returns.
