LONDON -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. (LVLT) today announced that the UK government has listed the company as a supplier for five service categories under the Public Services Network (PSN) framework. Following on from Level 3's secured placement on the PSN Connectivity Framework Agreement, announced in April, Level 3 is now positioned to start providing network and Cloud-based services over the PSN to any PSN customer.
The service categories for which Level 3 is a named supplier include:
Communication Services;

The PSN Services framework aims to assist UK government and the wider public sector by providing an efficient, effective procurement chain for services.
