Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured data-centre connectivity for its installation in the South West of England, together with additional hardware for the existing infrastructure. The requirement is an IT and communications equipment installation service, covering AWS Direct Connect connectivity and associated equipment supply. Delivery is centred on a Ministry of Defence data-centre environment in the South West, with the buyer based in Corsham, England. The work is classified under CPV 51300000, installation services of communications equipment, and is categorised as a service procurement. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while the requirement is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. This is a defined infrastructure connectivity requirement rather than a general IT support or standalone hardware purchase.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. The Ministry of Defence awarded the contract to Vysiion Limited on 8 September 2026 for £43,560, including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 24 October 2026 to 23 October 2027. The award is active. The published requirement and award describe one connectivity and hardware scope rather than separate lots, with the award covering the full stated value. The outcome identifies Vysiion Limited as the selected supplier; there is no separate contract record or additional awarded supplier in this process.

For a supplier assessing future Ministry of Defence demand, this award demonstrates a requirement for secure data-centre connectivity using AWS Direct Connect alongside additional hardware integrated with an existing installation. Credible competitors would need practical capability in communications equipment installation, data-centre network connectivity and the supply and integration of hardware into established infrastructure. Experience delivering technically controlled work for a public-sector or defence environment would help demonstrate the necessary understanding of operational, security and continuity constraints, although no specific accreditation is stated here. The procurement also shows that this buyer uses framework call-offs for this type of requirement, so suppliers seeking comparable work would benefit from access to relevant frameworks and the capacity to deliver a focused infrastructure service rather than only sell equipment.
