## Summary

Torbay Council procured a corporate data circuit to provide resilience and extra capacity for its main corporate data circuit. This is an IT and telecommunications connectivity service supporting the council’s corporate network and data traffic. The requirement is classified under IT services, including internet and support services. Delivery is for Torbay Council in Torquay and the wider Torbay area. The buying organisation is Torbay Council, a local public authority. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than a group of separate services, with the service intended to strengthen continuity and provide additional network capacity for the council’s corporate operations.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Torbay Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. British Telecommunications plc was selected as supplier for the corporate data circuit. The award was made on 19 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2029. Its value is £73,500 excluding VAT and £88,200 including VAT. The evaluation was therefore conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the contract is active. The arrangement covers one completed lot and one awarded contract.

This requirement is relevant to telecommunications providers, managed network operators and IT service companies able to deliver corporate data connectivity with resilience and additional capacity. A credible competitor for similar work would need the infrastructure and operational capability to support a public-sector organisation’s main data circuit, maintain dependable service continuity and provide internet or network support. Experience of designing or operating business-critical connectivity would be important, particularly where an organisation needs extra capacity alongside a resilient primary service. The award also indicates demand for a multi-year corporate connectivity arrangement from a local authority, favouring suppliers with the scale, service management and technical support capability to sustain network performance throughout a long-term contract.
