Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, located in Amersham, United Kingdom, entering into a Dedicated Internet Access Contract, primarily covering the IT services sector including consulting, software development, and Internet support. The procurement has reached the award stage as of January 2026 and is classified as a services contract under the CPV code '72000000'. This contract requires internet access provision to two specified sites within region UKJ13. The procurement method was limited, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, and falls outside the directive scope, as noted in the procurement rationale.

The completion of this contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialised in IT services and infrastructure. Given that the procurement method involved a direct call-off framework, larger established companies, as evidenced by the involvement of Virgin Media Business Limited as the awarded supplier, are well-positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive IT solutions could explore similar contracts, potentially opening up further avenues in public sector procurement within the healthcare industry.
