Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by NHS England concerns services related to BT WIFI and support for former Health Education England buildings. This is a direct award due to the unique nature of retrospective BT charges from 2023. NHS England, based in London, at Wellington House, SE1 8UG, oversees the completion of this tender in telecommunications services under CPV 64200000. The procurement method employed is limited, without prior publication, and falls outside the directive's scope. The contract was signed on 19 April 2023 and is in its award stage, with British Telecommunications Public Limited Company being the sole supplier selected.

This procurement provides opportunities for large telecommunications companies skilled in delivering specialised WIFI and landline services within the UK region, particularly at NHS England and ex-HEE locations. The nature of the contract, which does not open for competitive bids, indicates a focus on continuity with British Telecommunications PLC due to expertise in handling unique infrastructural requirements at these locations. Businesses equipped to offer specialised telecommunication services might have the potential to collaborate with the buyer on similar projects in the future under different procurement mechanisms.
