UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) recently completed a procurement process for the provision of internet and phone services at The British Consulates in New York. The contract, titled "CPG/12918/2025 - Provision of Internet for NYC BCG," falls under the services category within the telecommunications industry. This procurement process followed a limited method, specifically targeting below-threshold competitions. The contract was awarded to Verizon Business Network Services, with the agreement signed on 24th October 2025 and active from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2028. This initiative underscores the FCDO's commitment to securing essential communication services for its overseas posts.

For businesses aiming to grow, this tender represents a valuable example of a specialised procurement opportunity, characteristic of government contracts with very specific requirements. While the scope was somewhat restricted due to the limited competition nature of the process, it highlights the importance of firms positioning themselves as reliable providers in telecommunications. Large-scale telecommunications companies like Verizon are particularly well-suited to such tenders, given their vast experience and capability to cater to transnational service demands. This procurement illustrates the potential for enhancing business profiles and leveraging government contracts to secure long-term provision roles in key infrastructure projects.
