Summary of the contracting process

DfI Transport and Road Asset Management (TRAM), based in Belfast, has initiated a procurement process for the provision of an IP Transmission Service critical to their Urban Traffic Control System. The procurement process involves a contract amendment stage as of 15 October 2025, correcting an error in supplier details from previous notices. The procurement falls under the telecommunication services category and involves locations across Northern Ireland. The amendment was necessary to replace Yunex Ltd with British Telecommunications PLC as the supplier, ensuring the continuation of essential CCTV services for safety and operation efficiency. The contract has been awarded to British Telecommunications PLC after a direct award process justified by the absence of competition due to technical reasons, and is set to run from 3 October 2025 to 31 July 2026, with the contract start date marking the initiation of the service period.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in telecommunication services and have the capability to integrate with infrastructure projects, particularly those linked to traffic control and surveillance systems. Companies with expertise in advanced IP transmission services may find expansion possibilities, especially if equipped to meet the needs of public safety and critical services within Northern Ireland. British Telecommunications' involvement highlights the scale and technological demands of the contract, suggesting that large-scale telecommunication providers or those capable of forming strategic partnerships may benefit most from engaging in such procurement opportunities.

Notice Title

IP Transmission Service

Notice Description

The Department operates an Urban Traffic Control System, including close circuit television (CCTV) cameras. The provision of an IP transmission service for CCTV replaced a previous analogue system. This contract will provide and maintain safety critical CCTV services for the Department and other users across Northern Ireland, until a new contract can be awarded and all circuits have been migrated to the new service. Please Note: This notice contains an error with the supplier details carried forward from the UK6 Contract Award Notice. The Contracting Authority has attempted to publish a replacement UK6 Contract Award Notice with support from Cabinet Office but has been unable to do so due to a system error. This error will be corrected through the publication of a UK10 Contract Change Notice following the publication of this notice. This will amend the supplier details, replacing Yunex Ltd with British Telecommunications PLC.

The original UK7 Contract Details Notice for this procurement contained an error with the supplier details which was carried forward from the UK6 Contract Award Notice. The Contracting Authority attempted to publish a replacement UK6 Contract Award Notice with support from Cabinet Office but was unable to do so due to a system error. The Contracting Authority was advised to publish this UK10 Contract Change Notice to amend the supplier details, replacing Yunex Ltd with British Telecommunications PLC. This notice requires the Authority to indicate 'Transfer on corporate restructuring', however NO TRANSFER ON CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING HAS TAKEN PLACE. For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is published to correct an error carried forward from the UK6 Contract Award Notice.",
