UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Health Data Research UK procured managed network and connectivity services for its new office. The requirement covers installation and configuration of the network infrastructure, together with ongoing management, maintenance and technical support. It is a business-to-business IT networking service, including computer network services and associated connectivity rather than the supply of general office equipment. The buyer is Health Data Research UK, a public authority based in London. Delivery is for the organisation’s office network in the United Kingdom. The arrangement also allows additional support, equipment and service changes to be ordered where agreed formally between the parties. This is relevant to network operators, managed service providers, telecommunications businesses and IT infrastructure specialists able to provide and support a complete office connectivity service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Vorboss Limited, with an active contract signed on 28 August 2026. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2027, with options to extend by up to two further 12-month periods, subject to performance and business requirements; the maximum extent date is 27 August 2029. The contract value is £50,000 gross. Evaluation resulted in the award to Vorboss Limited. The service requirements include 99.99% availability, less than 0.5% packet loss, a five-hour target fix time and a 30-minute response available 24 hours a day. Optional add-on services require mutual agreement and documented ordering.

This contract demonstrates demand from Health Data Research UK for an end-to-end managed network service supporting a public-sector research organisation’s office. A credible future competitor would need to design and install network infrastructure, configure connectivity, manage faults and provide dependable ongoing support. The service expectations favour providers with resilient operational networks, continuous monitoring and a staffed 24-hour support function, rather than firms offering installation alone. Relevant capability includes maintaining traffic performance with very low packet loss, restoring faults within a defined target and reporting service availability transparently. Suppliers should also be able to manage formal service changes, additional equipment and extra support through controlled ordering. Experience delivering business connectivity and meeting measurable service levels would strengthen a competitor’s position when this requirement next reaches the market.
