Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has awarded a contract for the renewal of support for the 10G Direct Connect between Titchfield and CR2 under the title "10G Direct Connect between Titchfield & CR2". This procurement, classified under Computer Support Services (CPV 72610000), was conducted using a single tender action (below threshold) method. The process is now in the award stage, with a contract value of £30,960 GBP. The contract period begins on 31st August 2024 and will conclude on 30th August 2025. The procurement is targeted to be inclusive of SMEs but is not specifically aimed at VCSEs. The procurement process, concluding with the award on 5th August 2024, took place in the United Kingdom, specifically managed by the ONS based in Newport, Wales.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the IT and telecom sectors, particularly those offering computer support services. Companies that are familiar with large-scale networking projects and have the capability to provide reliable, high-speed data connectivity services would find this contract especially lucrative. The ONS's choice of a direct procurement method via single tender action indicates a need for specialised, possibly pre-known providers, but it confirms the importance of companies maintaining relationships and demonstrating reliable, specialised services for such direct approaches. SMEs particularly have a strong opportunity to showcase their capabilities and secure future contracts with ONS and other public sector organisations requiring similar services.
