Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Havering bought cloud-hosted HSCN connectivity, a secure network connection service supporting access to public-sector systems and services. The requirement is classified under software packages and information systems, but its practical focus is hosted connectivity rather than conventional software supply. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Havering, based in Romford. The selected supplier, Cloud Gateway Ltd, is a UK small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in connectivity services. This requirement is relevant to providers of hosted network connectivity, secure public-sector communications infrastructure, cloud networking and related managed services able to support HSCN-connected organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Havering used a limited direct-award procedure through GCloud 14, without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated rationale was that the procurement fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. Price was the award criterion, and one bid was recorded. Cloud Gateway Ltd was awarded the contract on 8 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and has a value of £31,200.57 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement record describes one requirement for cloud-hosted HSCN connectivity. The award is active, while the associated lot is recorded as cancelled; the active award and contract identify Cloud Gateway Ltd as the selected supplier.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows a defined local-authority requirement for cloud-hosted HSCN connectivity delivered at a modest contract scale. A credible competitor would need practical capability in secure cloud networking, hosted connectivity and integration with public-sector network environments, together with the operational capacity to support the service across the UK. The buying route also matters: suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand GCloud 14 and be positioned for direct awards made without a prior competition. Because evaluation was based on price and only one bid was recorded, a future competitor would need clear, competitive pricing alongside evidence that it can provide reliable managed connectivity for a council.
