Yes. I suggest they were probably providing services to GCHQ long before 
GCHQ decided it needed a 'significant' internet presence.

The same was true of plenty of agencies, including here in NZ too - much 
of what these outfits get up to in the IT space is behind large 
air-gaps; their need for Internet-connected infrastructure is much less 
than one might expect.
