UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured internet services for King George Dock in Hull. The requirement is a communications service providing wide area network connectivity at the dock, supporting the Home Office’s operations at that location. It is classified as a services contract, specifically wide area network services. The work is associated with the United Kingdom and the named operational site is King George Dock, Hull. The buying organisation is the Home Office, a central government public authority. The requirement concerns ongoing connectivity provision rather than the supply of physical equipment or construction works, so relevant businesses are telecommunications operators, internet service providers and managed network specialists with the infrastructure and operational capability to support a government site.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to KCOM Group Ltd. The Home Office used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2029. Its value is £22,546.23 excluding VAT, or £27,055.48 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies KCOM Group Ltd as the selected supplier for the King George Dock internet services requirement. The procurement was therefore concluded through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender or multi-supplier award.

This procurement indicates demand from the Home Office for dependable wide area network and internet connectivity at a secure central-government operational site. Suppliers best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns would be established telecommunications or managed network businesses able to provide resilient connectivity, service monitoring, fault response and sustained technical support. Credible providers would need to demonstrate practical experience of delivering business-critical internet or WAN services to operational sites, with the network capacity and service management arrangements needed for continuous use. Capability to understand government security, availability and service-level expectations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The selected provider was a large telecommunications business, indicating that scale, infrastructure ownership or access, and dependable nationwide support may be relevant competitive strengths.
