Neos Networks Boosts its Credentials for UK Gov and Public Services

Neos Networks, which operates a high-capacity business fibre network across the UK – spanning 34,000km and 550 exchanges, has today been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Network Services 3 (NS3) framework. This essentially means it can offer more services to the public sector.

NS3 is an update to Network Services 2 (NS2), which includes connectivity to cloud-based data and applications, radio and satellite networking and internet of things (IoT) solutions, providing public sector and third sector organisations (e.g. councils, NHS, social housing, charities etc.) with access to more technologies and choice, from recognised and trusted providers.

Neos Networks’ full suite of connectivity services, including SD-WAN, Dark Fibre, Business Internet Services, Optical and Ethernet will now be made available to these organisations via the framework. The operator was selected as a supplier on Lot 1a, which provides access to inter-site connectivity services, a critical component of supporting future technologies and applications.

Joanne Green, Head of Public Sector at Neos Networks, said:

“Neos Networks is thrilled to have been named as a supplier on the new NS3 framework, which will ease public sector access to modern connectivity solutions. Our heritage and customer portfolio in this sector means we know how best to serve our customers in this space. Earlier this year, we were awarded a place on the CCS G-Cloud 13 framework for cloud-based computing services for the public sector, and today we’re providing further connectivity services for the many UK public and third sector organisations seeking to digitise their services.

We’re excited to support more customers and partners on their journey to embracing new technologies and see Neos’s underlying infrastructure support critical connectivity for future-proofed applications.”
