## Summary

The public procurement process for WAN Services, managed by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) in the UK, involved various stages from planning to award. This procurement aimed to provide wide area network services to over 1000 MoJ locations and its service recipients including executive agencies and government entities. Initially signposted with a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in February 2023, a competitive dialogue procedure was employed to identify capable solutions through multiple stages: a selection questionnaire and various solution submission stages. The tender's final award stage concluded in October 2025 with Vodafone Limited securing the contract. Key details include service transition, WAN connectivity, gateway services, and core network services. The procurement value spanned up to GBP 200 million with an optional extension of three years, and the contract was entered into on 23 September 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses focusing on network infrastructure, services transition, and IT support services. Companies that specialise in secure connectivity, data network management, and WAN solutions will find this tender particularly lucrative. The scope includes potential purchasing of optional services during the contract duration, allowing for additional business through expansions or upgrades in network capabilities. As Vodafone Limited was awarded the contract with possibilities for subcontracting, smaller companies that can provide specialised IT services and network enhancements stand to benefit from partnerships with larger entities handling comprehensive solutions.
