The procurement, under the title "AWS/Azure Direct Connects for P&I", falls within the telecommunications services industry category, classified under CPV code 64200000. Located in Leeds, United Kingdom, the process followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. This tender was at the award stage as of 9th February 2026, with the awarded contract valued at £311,981. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 12th July 2024 and the contract period from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale service providers specialising in telecommunications infrastructure.

Successful bidders like EXPONENTIAL-E LIMITED, which was awarded the contract, exemplify the scale and capability needed to compete effectively. The process illustrates the importance of strategic engagements within framework agreements to secure public sector contracts.
