Summary of the contracting process

Genomics England Limited, a body governed by public law and located in London, has completed the procurement process titled "Provision of Additional BT Optical Connect Circuits." The contract, awarded on 11th December 2025, falls under the telecommunications services industry, specifically for the provision of high-capacity Optical Connect circuits by British Telecommunications Public Limited Company (BT). The procurement was executed under a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, used when the directive falls outside its standard application. The services will ensure high-speed connectivity between infrastructure sites across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, providing scalability for future needs. The procurement, part of the Crown Commercial Service Network Services 3 Framework, was valued at £178,050.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and high-capacity circuit installation, particularly those capable of providing secure and scalable connectivity solutions. While the main supplier for this contract is a large entity, smaller companies that could support the deployment, maintenance, or upgrade of such circuits might find subcontracting opportunities beneficial for growth. Additionally, businesses offering innovative solutions within telecommunications could find partnering with Genomics England or similar organisations a strategic avenue for expanding their services and entering into new collaborative projects. The project's wide regional impact presents a robust work scope for a variety of subcontractors working across the UK.
