Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, located in Lewes, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement for the "BT Connectivity" project under the direct procurement method classified as "Below threshold - without competition." The contract, covering BT legacy connections in the telecommunications network category, was awarded to BT GROUP PLC on 19th March 2025, with an effective period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.
