## Summary

The procurement process involves Hampshire County Council (HCC) seeking tenders for the "Corporate Wide Area Network (WAN)" service, classified under wide area network services. This initiative is part of the selective procurement method using a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Network Services 2 Framework (RM3808), Lot 1.

The awarded contract has a total value of £4,330,462.07 and is set to commence on 1 January 2023, extending until 31 December 2030, with the service replacing the existing HPSN2.1 network.

The involvement of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) is encouraged, making this a viable opportunity for a diverse range of suppliers.
