UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office is procuring private circuits and secure telephone circuits for site-to-site communications used by legacy and proprietary alarm transmission systems. The requirement is for telecommunications circuit services, including repair and maintenance of telecommunications lines (CPV 50331000). The circuits support the Home Office’s alarm systems, and the procurement is described as being covered by a security exemption. The buyer is the Home Office, a central government department. The source describes the requirement and its purpose but does not identify delivery locations beyond the circuits linking sites.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded by direct award. BT PLC Services was selected as the sole supplier, on the stated grounds that it is the sole supplier of the private circuits needed for the legacy and proprietary alarm transmission systems, with an exclusive-rights rationale. The award value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 December 2027, with signature scheduled for 7 October 2026. The requirement was arranged as a single lot. The award is recorded as pending, while the procurement itself is complete.

For suppliers assessing comparable Home Office requirements, this award demonstrates demand for private circuits and secure telephone circuits that connect legacy, proprietary alarm transmission systems between sites. A credible competitor would need to show that its network and services can support these specific communications reliably and securely, and that it can provide the associated circuit repair and maintenance. The direct award rationale identifies supplier exclusivity as decisive: an alternative provider would need to establish that it can deliver compatible circuits for the systems in question, rather than merely offer general telecommunications services. The requirement was placed with a large supplier as a single-lot service, indicating a consolidated delivery model for this buyer’s specialised communications need.»}blake21finalikwembuૂંક еиҳа 6.6?
