## Summary

The procurement process for the Wide Area Network services, led by Leicestershire Police, has reached the award stage as of 26th January 2026. This contract, valued at £1,200,000, falls under the category of services and is specifically aimed at the wide area network industry. The contract covers services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom and spans from 23rd November 2025 to 22nd November 2027. Employing a selective procurement method, this was a call-off from a framework agreement, and the official contract award notice was published on 16th February 2026.
