Procurement of Global Internet Connectivity Services via a Dynamic Purchasing System

The Contracting Authority, on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the British Council (collectively the ‘Partners’), intends to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of global internet connectivity services.

The Contracting Authority intends to make the DPS available to other UK Central Government bodies.

The global internet connectivity services will connect ministerial headquarters and other head offices in the UK with their respective embassies, consulates and other office locations, totalling approximately 500 sites in 175 countries.

The FCDO makes no contractual commitment to procure any global internet connectivity services under the DPS. However, significant elements are expected to be called off when the DPS is established (or very shortly thereafter).
