Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has concluded a procurement process concerning the provision of internet connectivity for its Durham office. Titled "fHEE Internet circuits for Durham Office," this contract falls under the telecommunications services industry category. Located at Wellington House, 133-135 Waterloo Rd, London, NHS England acted as the buying organisation. This contract, awarded through a direct procurement method without competition due to being below threshold, was officially signed on 17 April 2024 and remains active until 17 April 2026. The contract was executed with Virgin Media Limited, who will supply these services, reflecting a continuation of a rolling arrangement originally set by Health Education England.

This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications services sector, particularly those capable of providing seamless internet connectivity solutions. While this specific tender has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, smaller telecommunications firms might explore similar future opportunities with NHS divisions. Ensuring reliable internet services for public authorities highlights the potential demand for innovative solutions in this domain, offering prospects for businesses that can combine competitive pricing with robust service delivery to address the needs of central government organisations.
