Notice Title

Managed Event Audio Services

Notice Description

The contract with Vodafone for UC includes provision for audio-conferencing but is mainly intended for standard size meetings ie up to 48 people. Large all-staff managed event meetings can be accommodated but the price for this element does not represent best VfM. The Permanent Secretary is keen to make more use of this communications medium so alternative sources of supply have been considered. The MeetingZone service available on GCloud used by DWP is considered to represent good VfM Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra. If you're already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents. If you have any problems with the registration process, please contact the Bravo helpline on 0800 368 4850 or alternatively email them at help@bravosolution.co.uk.
