This procurement falls under the electrical circuits, networks, and internet services categories according to the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV). The procurement was completed on 18 February 2026, after a selective procedure where Virgin Media Business Limited was chosen as the supplier via the Crown Commercial Services RM6116 Network Services 3 framework Lot 1a. The contract, valued at £163,990, lasts 60 months, commencing from 17 February 2026 to 16 February 2031, with no extension options.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ICT infrastructure to leverage a guaranteed 5-year partnership with the Warwickshire Police.
