## Summary

West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured network-based internet access from Vodafone Limited. The requirement is classified as computer network services and covers delivery across Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buyer based in Leeds. The service is a managed network connectivity requirement intended to provide internet access through Vodafone’s network. It is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction contract. The named supplier is a large telecommunications provider, indicating that the requirement is suited to organisations with established network infrastructure, operational resilience and the ability to support a public-sector connectivity service across the buyer’s area. The procurement is specifically for Vodafone network-based internet access under the Network Services 3 framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Vodafone Limited on 28 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a direct call-off from the RM6116 Network Services 3 framework, rather than an open competition. The awarded value is £250,000. The stated estimated procurement range was £137,527.90 to £250,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, comprising an initial three-year term and two optional 12-month extensions. The tender submission deadline was 9 August 2026. The award was active when recorded. The requirement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for network-based internet access from West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need the infrastructure, service management capability and operational capacity to deliver reliable connectivity across Yorkshire and the Humber over a multi-year term. They would also need to understand public-sector network service requirements and be able to compete through the relevant Network Services 3 framework route, since this procurement was made as a framework call-off. The selected supplier was Vodafone Limited, a large telecommunications business, so credible competitors would need comparable scale, network capability and resilience, together with experience of delivering managed connectivity for public-sector organisations.
