## Summary

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office has awarded a framework agreement for the "The ECHO2 Programme: Network Integration Services Procurement" to Fujitsu Services Limited for the provision of telecommunications services. This procurement was marked complete as of 1st April 2022, with an overall contract value of £44,100,000. The framework agreement is set to span from 15th March 2022 to 14th March 2027, covering delivery in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was a selective process under a competitive procedure with negotiation due to its value exceeding threshold limits.

Companies experienced in delivering strategic services to government entities or similar institutions would be well-positioned to compete for subsequent call-off contracts under this framework.
