Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured a telecommunications network service to provide HSCN-AWS connectivity for Spine Futures. This was a three-year reprocurement of the connection service, supporting connectivity between the Health and Social Care Network and Amazon Web Services. Delivery is associated with NHS England’s site at Wellington Place in Leeds, with the wider delivery location identified as England. The requirement is therefore suited to telecommunications network operators, managed connectivity providers and businesses able to deliver secure, resilient connections for NHS digital infrastructure. It concerns a service rather than equipment supply, construction or general IT consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to British Telecommunications Limited. The award value is £228,060. The contract runs from 13 June 2026 to 12 June 2029. It used a selective route as a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically a direct award under CCS Network Services 3, Lot 1, through an eMarketplace service offer. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12 noon. NHS England recorded the contract as suitable neither for SMEs nor for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the full HSCN-AWS connection requirement for Spine Futures.

This award demonstrates NHS England’s demand for managed telecommunications connectivity linking HSCN and AWS environments for Spine Futures. A credible future competitor would need the operational capability to provide secure, dependable network connections for NHS infrastructure, understand the requirements of health-sector connectivity and support service continuity throughout a multi-year arrangement. Experience of delivering telecommunications network services at comparable organisational scale would be relevant. The buying route is also significant: suppliers would need access to, or a route through, the relevant network services framework and the ability to respond to a direct-award or framework call-off model. The incumbent is a large telecommunications provider, indicating a requirement suited to substantial network capacity and established service operations.
