## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has completed the procurement process for the "WAN Microsoft Azure Cloud Connect" project, which falls under the category of postal and telecommunications services. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a catalogue purchase, with a contract value amounting to £349,000. The contract period commenced on 1st October 2021 and will conclude on 30th September 2024. The tender period ended on 24th September 2021, and all deliveries for the project are to be made to London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the telecommunications and IT services sectors, particularly those specialising in cloud connectivity, network infrastructure, and MPLS services. Companies that can provide customer premises equipment (CPE) and related services are well-suited to compete, especially larger firms with experience in government contracts. The successful awardee, CAE Technology Services Limited, is already engaged in this project, but further similar opportunities may arise in the future for eligible service providers.
