## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "UKRI-6244 BT charges for all STFC BT Lines," falls under the telecommunications services industry category and has reached the award stage as of 31st July 2026. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, categorised as below threshold without competition. The contract commenced on 1st August 2026 and is scheduled to run until 31st March 2027, encompassing services across the United Kingdom, particularly targeting the South East region.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses providing telecommunications services, with British Telecommunications Public Limited Company having been awarded the contract valued at £25,000 net (£30,000 gross).
