## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is seeking to contract the provision of business internet services for the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) in N'Djamena, Chad, through a limited procurement method. This tender, which is currently at the award stage, focuses on delivering a minimum download speed of 10Mb/s to the Authority's personnel. The initial tender submission deadline was set for 15th July 2021, but due to a lack of suitable bids, the procurement proceeded as a negotiated contract without prior publication. The award for this contract was officially made on 10th August 2021, with an estimated contract value of £218,654.76, and options for additional service periods.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly internet service providers (ISPs), to engage in government contracts in a high-demand region. Companies capable of providing robust internet connectivity solutions in challenging environments like N'Djamena could find significant advantages in competing for the contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in international contracts, particularly within the defence sector, would be well-positioned to explore this opportunity for growth and to build a relationship with the Ministry of Defence.
