Official UK procurement notice
IPSA Broadband Provision for MPs
Authority: Independent Parliamentry Standards Authority (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIPSA is the independent body that regulates and administers the funding and decides the pay and pensions of the 650 MPs and their staff.
IPSA would like to put in place a contract to provide high-quality reliable broadband services across the United Kingdom to MPs' constituency offices and IPSA-funded living accommodation.
The contract should allow for the one stop shop for the MP to provision broadband services through a broadband broker/provider and associated services.
We would like to centralise billing removing the burden from MPs entirely and reducing the work of IPSA's finance team by processing a single itemised bill each month.

IPSA is conducting market engagement to understand the broadband solutions that may be available to inform a more detailed tender exercise later this year.
We expect the new service to go live on 1 April 2026, with a transition from the current suppliers managed by the House of Commons to take a couple of months.
Please complete the attached form to identify how your solution can match our broad requirements.
