## Summary

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has recently awarded a contract for the provision of a Wide Area Network, aimed at extending their existing contract for an additional two years (years 4 and 5). This amendment will also include new circuits for additional sites, reflecting a total contract value of £3,000,000, with the award dated 1st June 2016. The procurement method used was an open procedure under the Crown Commercial Services Network Services framework, with the contract being classified in the services category. The location for delivery is within the UK, specifically the region of Edinburgh.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and network services sector, particularly those capable of providing extensive infrastructure and support for government agencies. Companies that specialise in Wide Area Network solutions and have experience dealing with public sector clients would be well-suited to compete in this space. Additionally, the potential for contract extension and the inclusion of more sites suggests further growth opportunities for suppliers who can demonstrate their capability to adapt and meet evolving needs.
