## Summary

The Ministry of Defence procured fixed voice telephony and video teleconferencing services for Defence users worldwide. The service supports communications at SECRET classification and provides gateway connectivity to other SECRET services, Partners of Choice and Partners Across Government. This is a wide area network service (CPV 72720000), delivered for Defence users across the United Kingdom and globally. The requirement sits within the Ministry of Defence’s critical communications capability and covers the provision and operation of secure voice and video services rather than general office telecommunications. Businesses with expertise in secure, resilient telecommunications, classified networks, video conferencing and inter-network gateway connectivity would be relevant to this requirement.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made to British Telecommunications Limited. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 for £37,380,000. The Ministry of Defence used a selective restricted procedure, with four bids recorded. The award criterion was price. The requirement included options for additional services. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The procurement therefore records an awarded and signed contract despite the lot status. The published outcome identifies British Telecommunications Limited as the selected supplier; no contract duration or end date is stated in the procurement outcome.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for large-scale, secure communications supporting fixed voice telephony and video conferencing at SECRET classification. A credible future competitor would need the technical capability to operate resilient wide area network services, protect classified communications, provide reliable voice and video performance, and connect securely with other SECRET networks, government partners and approved external partners. Experience of defence or other security-sensitive communications environments would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to support users globally and maintain critical services. The restricted procedure and price-only award criterion indicate that suppliers would need to meet the buyer’s participation requirements before competing primarily on commercial value.
