Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit (hosted by NHS England) has completed the procurement process for the North East COIN/WAN Set Up, focusing on transformation costs and hardware within the telecommunications network industry. The procurement, which follows a selective method by calling off from a framework agreement, involves services and will be executed from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2029, with a total value of £3,255,922. This project is located in Durham, United Kingdom, with postal code DH1 3YG, and the award was made on 2nd December 2025. The tender process concluded on 30th November 2024, and the supplier awarded the contract is Virgin Media Business Limited.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications network services, particularly those with the capacity to handle large-scale projects. Companies such as hardware providers, network infrastructure firms, and IT service providers can leverage this contract to expand their footprint within the public sector. However, it is not aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the project's scale and requirements. The involvement of a prestigious buyer like the NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit enhances the credibility and potential for long-term business growth for the awarded supplier.
