## Summary

The Home Office is buying website hosting and support services. The requirement is described at a high level, without further breakdown of the hosting environment, support tasks or service levels. Delivery is listed as covering the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is relevant to website hosting providers able to support a public-sector customer across this broad stated geographic scope. The buyer is the Home Office, based in Westminster, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Encircle Solutions Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £232,874. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The Home Office used a selective process to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 17:00. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements; it does identify the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This was a services contract and no lots are identified.

This award demonstrates demand from the Home Office for website hosting and support delivered across a broad geographic footprint. Encircle Solutions Limited, identified as a small business, was selected, showing that a supplier of SME scale can win this type of work through a framework call-off. Suppliers positioning for a comparable requirement should be credible in providing website hosting alongside ongoing support, and able to serve users or operations across the United Kingdom and the other stated territories. The scope published here is broad rather than technically detailed, so the clearest evidence of fit is experience delivering hosting and support to a public-sector customer at this reach. The route used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement; familiarity with the relevant framework route would therefore be commercially pertinent.
