Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a call-off contract for network services under Lot 4e, focused on paging and alerting. The requirement falls within telecommunications services and equipment, including the infrastructure and associated support needed to provide reliable paging and alerting capability. The buying organisation is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. Delivery is associated with Chichester and the wider South East of England. This is a services requirement rather than a standalone purchase of telecommunications hardware. Businesses operating in network communications, paging systems, alerting platforms, telecommunications infrastructure or related technical support would find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is aimed at maintaining or providing an operational communications service for the council rather than supplying general office telephones or unrelated IT services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. West Sussex County Council awarded the contract to TELENT TECHNOLOGY SERVICES LTD on 24 June 2026. The awarded value is £167,122.34. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The process concerns one Lot 4e requirement for paging and alerting network services. The published procurement category is services, with telecommunications equipment and supplies as the relevant classification. The recorded suitability assessment does not reserve the opportunity for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a substantial telecommunications specialist to deliver paging and alerting network services for a county council. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in designing, supplying, integrating and supporting dependable paging and alerting infrastructure, together with the operational capacity to maintain service quality for a public-sector customer. Experience with telecommunications equipment, network services, service assurance, fault response and ongoing technical support would be relevant. The buyer’s assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so competitors should be able to demonstrate established resources, delivery resilience and the ability to manage a council-scale service. Suppliers with proven public-sector or similarly structured network-services experience would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
