## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care procured internet resilience services, covering the installation of internet lines at its sites. The requirement is for telecommunications network and internet connectivity installation, rather than general IT support. The buyer is based at Victoria Street, Westminster, London. Delivery locations are listed across the United Kingdom and a broad range of other territories and locations, including the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and British Overseas Territories. This points to a geographically extensive connectivity requirement for a central government department, with installation work forming part of the service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to British Telecommunications Limited. The award was made on 1 October 2026, for £281,040. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2029. The estimated procurement value was between £93,680 and £281,040. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at noon. The published information does not describe a separate scoring formula or evaluation weighting, so the award basis cannot be stated more specifically. The opportunity was classified as a services procurement and concerned installation of internet resilience lines at Department of Health and Social Care sites.

The award demonstrates demand from the Department of Health and Social Care for resilient internet connectivity installed across a wide geographic footprint. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver telecommunications network services alongside practical installation of internet lines at multiple sites, and to support coverage extending beyond a single UK location. The selected supplier was a large telecommunications company, indicating that the requirement was met by a provider with the scale to deliver this broad service. The procurement used a framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need relevant access to the applicable framework as well as the operational capacity to install and support connectivity across the stated locations.
