Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office, located in London, has completed a procurement process titled "Home Office Hosting - Connectivity Standard Contract." This process, which falls under the "services" category, specifically pertains to the provision of connectivity for hosting services and is classified within the wide area network sector (CPV code 32430000). The procurement was conducted via a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 29th January 2026, with the award announced on 30th January 2026. Vodafone Ltd has been identified as the supplier for the contract, which will commence on 1st April 2026 and finish on 30th September 2027. The contract carries a value of £213,440 and is situated in London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for large telecommunications companies that specialise in wide area networks, as it involves providing essential connectivity services for governmental use. While the procurement process was selective and specifically called off from a framework, businesses with a presence in or understanding of public sector procurement, and established connections to existing frameworks, will find such opportunities particularly advantageous. Organizations capable of meeting the stringent requirements and technical standards set forth by the Home Office, especially those with the capacity to handle large-scale connectivity deployments, would be well-suited to engage with similar procurement opportunities in the future. Although this particular tender is not accessible to SMEs or VCSEs, understanding such structured procurement processes could prepare these entities for future frameworks.
