## Summary

The London Borough of Barnet sought network-as-a-service connectivity under a requirement titled “Colt - Naas”. The work was classified as computer network services and described as network as a service, specifically network connectivity. It was associated with the borough’s transition of IT services back in-house. Delivery was in Barnet. The procurement was structured as a single lot for network as a service. This requirement concerns suppliers able to provide managed network connectivity rather than general IT support or unrelated technology services.

The process was recorded as unsuccessful, and its single lot was cancelled; no supplier award or contract value is reported. The buyer used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, citing extreme urgency and the move to bring IT services in-house as the reason a full procurement exercise was unsuitable at that stage. The only stated award criterion was price. The lot included a provision to extend the contract by one year. No award date, contract period or monetary value is provided, so there is no recorded contract outcome to compare. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers serving Barnet, this unsuccessful process indicates demand for network connectivity as a service in support of the council’s IT operations and transition to in-house delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to provide network-as-a-service connectivity and to compete strongly on price, the stated evaluation basis. The urgency rationale also shows that the buyer previously sought a route suited to an immediate transition rather than a full procurement exercise. Suppliers with the operational capability to support a public-sector network service and respond effectively to urgent requirements are therefore the closest fit. The cancelled lot provides evidence of the requirement, but does not establish that a contract was awarded or that a supplier delivered the service.
