UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council procured a corporate VPN replacement service for its council operations. The requirement is a cloud-based virtual private network solution that supports integrations between cloud services, Microsoft Intune and Microsoft 365. It covers network infrastructure and associated IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 32424000 and 72000000). The work is for the council in Rutland, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a technology services requirement for suppliers able to design, provide and support secure cloud connectivity integrated with Microsoft’s device-management and productivity platforms.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ATN CONSULTANCY LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 and runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 July 2031. Its value is £48,127.80 excluding VAT, or £57,753.36 including VAT. The award covered the corporate VPN replacement service and related network infrastructure and IT support. The selected supplier holds an active award, and the contract is active. The procurement was therefore evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Rutland County Council for managed cloud VPN capability linked to Microsoft Intune and Microsoft 365. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have demonstrable expertise in secure virtual private network architecture, cloud-service integration, Microsoft device management and Microsoft 365 environments. Credibility would also require the ability to provide network infrastructure services alongside technical consultancy, software-related support, internet connectivity and ongoing service support. A supplier should be able to deliver an integrated replacement rather than an isolated connectivity product, understand public-sector operational needs, and provide dependable support throughout a long-term service arrangement. Experience combining implementation with continuing technical assistance would strengthen a competing offer.
