## Summary

The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Authority has completed a public procurement process for communication circuits, notably focused on site-to-site services within the telecommunications sector (CPV: 64200000). The process employed a limited procurement method, culminating in an award to British Telecom, with the applicability of the Crown Commercial Framework RM6166 Lot 1A for direct award. The contract, valued at £308,627, was signed on 19th May 2026, covering various regions across the UK, including Tyne and Wear. This award marks the procurement stage as complete under the legal basis of CELEX directive ID 32014L0024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications sector, particularly those capable of providing robust communication circuit solutions. While the procurement was awarded through a direct process without prior competition, future calls for tenders from similar frameworks can offer participation potential for both large corporations and SMEs, adept at delivering innovative telecommunication services that address emergency services' specific needs. Engaging in public sector contracts can foster growth through sustained governmental relationships and substantial contract values like the one awarded to British Telecom.
