## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of connectivity and networking hardware and support services has been concluded, with UK Shared Business Services Limited acting as the buying organisation. The contract, with a value of £46,920, was awarded to Crown Hosting Data Centres Ltd on 1st March 2026. The contractual agreement spans from the start date in March 2026 to the end date of February 2030. This procurement falls under the category of network equipment and related professional services, and the process was conducted as a selective call-off from the Crown Hosting II RM6262 framework. Located in Swindon, England, UK Shared Business Services Limited has facilitated this process, which is now in the award stage, with the award notice published on 19th March 2026.

This award presents growth opportunities particularly for large-scale providers of network equipment and computer-related services in the technology sector. As it involved a selective procurement method, businesses that are part of relevant framework agreements can benefit from increased visibility and potential new contracts. While the procurement process itself doesn't accommodate SMEs or VCSEs, companies with the capability to deliver comprehensive connectivity solutions with robust support services will find substantial business opportunities through such framework agreements. Additionally, organisations that excel in platform interconnectivity and professional services in the digital space would be ideal contenders for future similar procurements.
