## Summary

The Home Office procured Crown Hosting II data centre services for delivery in London. The requirement is categorised as network infrastructure and covers services supporting the department’s data-centre environment. The named buyer is the Home Office, based in London. The selected supplier is Crown Hosting Data Centres Limited, a large data-centre services company. This is a specialist technology services requirement rather than a purchase of physical network equipment or construction works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are providers of data-centre hosting, network infrastructure and associated operational services, particularly those able to support central government requirements through the Crown Hosting II framework.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Crown Hosting Data Centres Limited on 1 July 2026 for £10,000,000. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 1 September 2026. The award is active and covers the full requirement in London. The procurement was treated as a services contract, with network infrastructure as its primary classification. The recorded suitability assessment indicates that participation was not intended for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award confirms the Home Office’s demand for Crown Hosting II data-centre services and network infrastructure delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need an established data-centre operation, strong network infrastructure capability and the capacity to support a central government customer in London. The buyer’s selection of a large specialist provider indicates that scale, operational resilience and the ability to deliver an integrated hosting service are important commercial characteristics. Suppliers would also need to be admitted to, or work through an appropriate route within, the Crown Hosting II framework and demonstrate capability suited to government data-centre environments.
