## Summary

Devon County Council has completed the procurement process for the "CP2667-25 Internet Service Provider 10GB" contract, focusing on IT services related to consulting, software development, and internet support. This procurement aimed at acquiring a short-term 10GB internet line in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically in Exeter, to replace existing internet infrastructure and support the Wide Area Network service roll-out. The procurement was conducted via direct award, with the award finalised on 14 May 2025. The contract, valued at £27,500, is set for an initial eight-month period starting on 20 May 2025, with the possibility of extending it up to four additional months, ending by 20 January 2026.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses in the IT services industry, particularly those specialising in network solutions and internet service provision. Although the direct award method restricts competition in this instance, such contracts could be indicative of similar future opportunities for businesses positioned to provide large-scale network solutions. Enterprises with capabilities in high-speed data services, especially those capable of engaging with public sector clients, such as GCI Network Solutions Limited, would find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their market reach and demonstrating their credentials in handling substantial IT infrastructure projects.

## Notice

Devon County Council currently have two internet links into County Hall Exeter (5gb and 10gb BT lines). The authority have procured a new contract for the Wide Area Network (CP2471-24) and these lines will be replaced as part of this service roll out. The 10gb line is due to expire on 20th May 2025 (CP1579-18) but will be required until January 2026. The current contract does not have capacity for a contract extension, therefore there is a requirement to put in place a short term contract for the 10gb line. Initial contract period 8 months, option to extend 4 x one month Value PS27,500 for initial contract period.
