This project falls under the industry category "Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment" and pertains to a specific geographic location marked as region UKJ. The procurement was at the ‘Award’ stage as of 30th May 2025, with a signed contract valued at £125,888 with BT LIMITED.

Businesses with niche capabilities or proprietary solutions in telecom networking would be well-suited to engage in this domain, leveraging the need for exclusive and protected telecom services.
