Summary of the contracting process

North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust procured replacement telephony server infrastructure. This is a goods requirement in the telecommunications equipment category (CPV 32500000), focused on replacing the Trust’s existing telephony servers. The recorded delivery location is Warrington. The requirement is specific to telephony server infrastructure rather than general telecommunications services, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide equipment for this type of replacement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CONSCIA GROUP UK LTD. The Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 1 October 2026. The award was made on 21 October 2026, for £299,009.24. The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated estimated procurement value and the awarded value are both £299,009.24. The process record does not set out evaluation criteria, so no basis for comparing bids can be reported.

This award demonstrates demand from North Cheshire and Mersey NHS Foundation Trust for replacement telephony server infrastructure. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to show they can supply and implement infrastructure suited to replacing an organisation’s telephony servers. The scale of this purchase suggests the buyer used a framework call-off for a substantial equipment replacement, and the selected supplier was a UK small or medium-sized business. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses should take account of that when assessing whether they fit the buyer’s approach. The opportunity is specifically about telephony server infrastructure, not broader telecoms work.
