## Summary

The Food Standards Agency has recently completed a procurement process titled "Network Circuit Provision," aimed at providing access to cloud services across five of its offices located in the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. The procurement, classified under the CPV code for “Computer hardware acceptance testing consultancy services” and involving internet service provision, carried a total contract value of £750,222. The tender process was conducted as a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract period running from 28th June 2022 to 28th June 2025. The tender period ended on 28th March 2022.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in technology services, especially those providing cloud infrastructure and related consulting. Businesses equipped to offer innovative solutions for enhancing interactive audio, video services, and emerging technologies such as IoT or virtual reality would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The integration of such technologies supports the evolving hybrid working environment demanded by public sector organisations.

## Notice

Users in the 5 FSA offices will require access to cloud services and there is no requirement for branch-to-branch connectivity. Cloud services are currently predominantly text and static image HTML; however, increased use is being made of interactive audio and video services for hybrid working with potential requirements for business use of IOT, gaming and virtual reality technologies.
