Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham procured connectivity services covering network and telephony services for its operations in London. The requirement is classified under telecommunications equipment and supplies (CPV 32500000), although the procurement is for services rather than equipment supply alone. Delivery is associated with the borough’s Hammersmith & Fulham Civic Campus in London and the wider London Borough area. This is a public-sector communications and connectivity requirement, relevant to telecommunications operators, managed network providers and suppliers able to support local-government voice and data services. The named buying organisation is the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 1 March 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded to British Telecommunications plc on 1 March 2022. The awarded value is £4,453,156. The contract runs from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2028. The award is active and covers the full connectivity services requirement. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The stated procurement category is services, with the requirement evaluated through the framework call-off process.

For competitors, this award demonstrates substantial, multi-year demand from the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham for integrated network and telephony services. A credible future supplier would need the scale and operational capability to deliver public-sector connectivity across London, combining network provision with telephony support and maintaining service continuity over a long contract period. The outcome also indicates that the buyer selected a large telecommunications provider through an established framework route, so relevant framework access, public-sector contracting experience and the capacity to manage a significant council-wide service would be important. Providers should be able to demonstrate resilient infrastructure, dependable service management and the resources to support a local authority rather than a small, standalone installation.
