Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured wide area network (WAN) circuits for nine prison sites, for PES/DEP. The requirement was for network connectivity serving those prison locations. The buying organisation was the Ministry of Justice, a central government department. The procurement title identifies nine sites but does not name their locations, so the work cannot be matched to particular regions or towns from the available scope.

The procurement was awarded, but the resulting contract is recorded as terminated following completion. The contract covered the WAN circuits for the nine prison sites and had a final value of £72,476. Its implementation ended on 30 September 2026. The termination record was published on 23 October 2026; it identifies completion as the termination rationale. No supplier, award date, procurement procedure, evaluation basis or contract start date is recorded here, so the outcome cannot be linked to a named provider or a particular selection process.

For a supplier serving public-sector network requirements, this procurement is evidence that the Ministry of Justice has bought WAN connectivity for multiple prison sites as a single requirement. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate the capability to provide and support reliable network circuits across several secure custodial locations, with sufficient operational capacity to cover the sites as a group. Experience delivering connectivity for government or other complex multi-site organisations would be relevant to establishing that capability. The requirement is specifically for WAN circuits serving prison sites for PES/DEP; it does not establish demand for broader IT services, equipment or unrelated telecoms work. The contract has ended, so this outcome is a reference point for future requirements rather than an opportunity to pursue now.
