## Summary

The Financial Ombudsman Service has completed a procurement process titled "Cloud and Internet Connectivity" in the services category, with a focus on internet networks. This tender entails providing network data circuits to interconnect office locations, cloud services, and the Internet via an SD-WAN system. The process, conducted through a direct procurement method (single tender action below threshold), concluded with an award on 18th July 2024. The contract, valued at £190,000, will run from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2027. The services are to be delivered in London, United Kingdom, with specific postal codes highlighted.

This tender offers significant opportunities for large-scale technology firms specialising in network connectivity as the potential to deliver comprehensive cloud and internet services to a significant public sector client is evident. Businesses in the IT and telecommunications sectors, particularly those experienced with SD-WAN systems, are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts. The contract does not suit SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting a preference for established, larger technology service providers capable of meeting extensive technical and operational requirements.
