Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract titled "EHRC 2122-31 Network Services" was orchestrated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, headquartered in Manchester, England. This contract, classified under IT services, involved the provision of network connectivity services, including wide area networks, internet links, inbound voice services, and the maintenance of associated equipment. The procurement was conducted using a selective method via a call-off from the CCS RM3808 Framework Agreement. The contract spanned regions within the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, and Wales. Initiated as a tender, the process reached completion with the contract period set from 24th July 2022 until 23rd July 2026. The most recent update in October 2025 confirmed the status of the award.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in IT services, particularly those in consulting, software development, internet, and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-positioned to benefit given the suitability criteria, although the ultimate supplier awarded was British Telecommunications, a large scale company. Engaging in contracts such as this can boost business portfolios and expand operational capabilities across multiple UK regions, fostering partnerships and revenue growth in the competitive IT sector.
