TfGM Virgin Media for eVPN connectivity 2025-26

Award outcome

Description

In 2023 TfGM entered into an agreement with the supplier using the RM3808 Network Services framework from CCS. To procure WAN connectivity "eVPN" to support its business critical services. This was for a 2 year period only and this ended in March 2025. Following the rollout and deployment of GM One across the Greater Manchester region, it was intended for these services to be migrated over to the GM One network, however the delivery of the replacement circuits has been delayed. In order to maintain the required WAN connectivity, a further 12 month extension for this service is required. The intention was for TfGM to look to extend the current agreement for this short period but the supplier was not able to do this due to the value. Therefore a new 12 month contract (following no competition) is looking to be used instead. At the end of this 12 month period, the service will be taken up by GM One as was always intended. A transparency notice (UK5) was published regarding this award in May 2025 - here is the OCID identifier for that notice - ocds-h6vhtk-050cc5
