Summary of the contracting process

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited procured dedicated internet access and related network services for its internet connectivity. The requirement covers services across the group’s office buildings and depots in Glasgow. It is a services contract for an organisation operating in housing and community amenities, with the network supporting multiple operational locations rather than a single site. The requirement was awarded as one service package to provide dedicated internet access for Wheatley Group. Suppliers working in business connectivity, telecommunications, managed network services or internet access provision would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can support a distributed estate of offices and depots and maintain reliable connectivity for a housing group.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Virgin Media Business. The contract is active and was signed on 10 April 2026 for £415,000. The buyer used an open procedure and made the award against the Crown Commercial Service Network Services 3 Framework Agreement (RM6116). One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was from a non-SME supplier and originated outside the EU. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The single lot covered network services for Wheatley Group’s internet services across its office buildings and depots. The recorded tender status is complete, and the award relates to the full dedicated internet access requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from The Wheatley Housing Group Limited for dedicated internet access serving a dispersed operational estate. A future competitor would need to provide business-grade connectivity across office buildings and depots, with the operational capability to manage network services for a housing organisation rather than a single premises. The successful supplier was Virgin Media Business, and the only recorded bid came from a large supplier, indicating that scale and delivery capacity were relevant in this procurement. Suppliers with a suitable position on the Crown Commercial Service Network Services 3 Framework Agreement, experience supporting multi-site organisations, and the ability to deliver dependable dedicated internet services would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
