The requirement comprises a highly integrated Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solution encompassing Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT) and Broadcast Network Services across the Parliamentary Estate. The Authority requires a single supplier to assume end-to-end accountability for the design, transition, delivery, operation, support, security, maintenance and continuous improvement of the Services.\nDividing the requirement into separate lots would introduce significant interface, governance, operational and service integration risks between multiple suppliers. In particular, the Authority considers that a multi-supplier model could:\ndilute accountability for service delivery and performance outcomes;\nincrease the risk of service disruption and incident management complexity;\ncreate additional integration challenges across the IT, OT and Broadcast network environments;\nincrease cyber security and information assurance risks through the introduction of multiple service interfaces and support arrangements;\nincrease contract management complexity and associated operating costs; and\nreduce the Authority's ability to deliver a coherent network transformation and continuous improvement programme.\nThe Authority has therefore determined that the requirement is most effectively delivered through a single integrated contract, ensuring clear accountability, consistent service management, efficient governance and the delivery of a secure, resilient and future-ready network service aligned with Parliament's strategic objectives.\nThe Authority considers that the expected benefits of division into lots are outweighed by the operational, technical and commercial disadvantages associated with fragmenting responsibility for a business-critical technology service. The decision not to divide the contract into lots is considered proportionate and necessary to achieve the Authority's objectives and secure the effective delivery of the Services." }, "documents": [ { "id": "conflictOfInterest", "documentType": "conflictOfInterest" }, { "id": "094434-2026", "documentType": "tenderNotice", "noticeType": "UK4", "description": "Tender notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/094434-2026", "datePublished": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "094452-2026", "documentType": "tenderNotice", "noticeType": "UK4", "description": "Tender notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/094452-2026", "datePublished": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ], "contractTerms": { "financialTerms": "Payment terms will be as set out in the Contract and procurement documentation.

The requirement comprises a highly integrated Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) solution encompassing Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT) and Broadcast Network Services across the Parliamentary Estate. The Authority requires a single supplier to assume end-to-end accountability for the design, transition, delivery, operation, support, security, maintenance and continuous improvement of the Services.\nDividing the requirement into separate lots would introduce significant interface, governance, operational and service integration risks between multiple suppliers. In particular, the Authority considers that a multi-supplier model could:\ndilute accountability for service delivery and performance outcomes;\nincrease the risk of service disruption and incident management complexity;\ncreate additional integration challenges across the IT, OT and Broadcast network environments;\nincrease cyber security and information assurance risks through the introduction of multiple service interfaces and support arrangements;\nincrease contract management complexity and associated operating costs; and\nreduce the Authority's ability to deliver a coherent network transformation and continuous improvement programme.\nThe Authority has therefore determined that the requirement is most effectively delivered through a single integrated contract, ensuring clear accountability, consistent service management, efficient governance and the delivery of a secure, resilient and future-ready network service aligned with Parliament's strategic objectives.\nThe Authority considers that the expected benefits of division into lots are outweighed by the operational, technical and commercial disadvantages associated with fragmenting responsibility for a business-critical technology service. The decision not to divide the contract into lots is considered proportionate and necessary to achieve the Authority's objectives and secure the effective delivery of the Services." } ] }, "documents": [ { "id": "conflictOfInterest", "documentType": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "conflictOfInterest" } ] }, { "id": "094434-2026", "documentType": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "tenderNotice" } ], "noticeType": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "UK4" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "Tender notice on Find a Tender" } ], "url": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/094434-2026" } ], "datePublished": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00" } ], "format": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "text/html" } ] }, { "id": "094452-2026", "documentType": [ { "releaseID": "094452-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tenderUpdate" ], "value": "tenderNotice" } ], "noticeType": [ { "releaseID": "094452-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tenderUpdate" ], "value": "UK4" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "094452-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tenderUpdate" ], "value": "Tender notice on Find a Tender" } ], "url": [ { "releaseID": "094452-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tenderUpdate" ], "value": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/094452-2026" } ], "datePublished": [ { "releaseID": "094452-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tenderUpdate" ], "value": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00" } ], "format": [ { "releaseID": "094452-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:58:16+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tenderUpdate" ], "value": "text/html" } ] } ], "contractTerms": { "financialTerms": [ { "releaseID": "094434-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-10-06T16:37:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "Payment terms will be as set out in the Contract and procurement documentation.
