Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured construction of the passive site solution for its EAS1001 Greyhound Farm site. The works follow acquisition and design activities already completed by WHP Telecoms and comprise delivery and construction of the approved site design in line with the agreed design and Schedule of Rates. This is a telecommunications site build, rather than a general building project. The site is identified as Greyhound Farm; the procurement data does not give a town or region for delivery. The Home Office is the buyer, and the work forms part of its EAS site programme.

The procurement is complete and the Home Office selected WHP Telecoms Limited for the single lot. The award was dated 8 October 2026, with a gross value of £548,477.90 (£457,064.92 excluding VAT). The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible extension to 1 November 2027. Only one extension is permitted, to allow all build works and handover packs to be completed. The buyer used a direct award, on the grounds that changing supplier would create incompatibility with existing services and outputs and disproportionate technical difficulties. The award is recorded as pending. No evaluation scoring criteria are stated.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to deliver a passive telecommunications site build against an approved design and agreed Schedule of Rates, and coordinate construction with preceding acquisition and design work. The buyer’s stated reason for retaining the existing supplier was compatibility with services and outputs already delivered, as well as avoiding disproportionate technical difficulties. That makes continuity across project stages, familiarity with the site solution and the ability to complete construction and provide handover packs commercially relevant capabilities. The procurement demonstrates demand for a substantial, specialist site-build package for the Home Office’s EAS programme. Suppliers with proven delivery of telecommunications infrastructure works and the capacity to take a designed solution through build and handover would be better placed to establish credibility when this buyer next requires comparable work.
