Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office recently awarded a contract for a broadband service intended for video interviews in Hull City. This service falls under the category of information technology services, with a total contract value of £10,080. The procurement method employed was a direct award through a single tender action, below the threshold. The contract period spans from January 19, 2018, to January 18, 2020, with the tender having been completed as of May 24, 2019.

This opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for businesses specialising in information technology and telecommunications. Companies that are capable of delivering reliable broadband services, particularly those with experience in supporting video communications, would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future. Given the Home Office's engaging with a large scale supplier, like Kingston Communications, there may be subsequent opportunities for subcontracting or collaborations for smaller firms in this industry.
