Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police has successfully completed a procurement process for the "Future Networks" project, involving WAN and LAN services under the framework agreement RM6116. The contract, valued at £9,854,747, spans the regions of England, Scotland, and Wales, with Virgin Media Business Limited serving as the supplier. The award was announced on 1 July 2025, and the contract period extends from 29 July 2025 to 8 July 2033.
