Summary of the contracting process

The UK Shared Business Services Limited initiated a tender process for the maintenance and support of the Juniper Data Network switches and Mitel IP Telephony systems at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, which is part of the Medical Research Council (MRC). This procurement, titled "UK SBS IT18215 UKRI MRC-LMB Network and Telephony Maintenance," falls under the industry category of Telephone network maintenance services and took place in the East of England. The procurement process used a limited method through a competitive quotation for an amount of £270,081.05, with the tender period concluding on 31 August 2018 and the contract commencing on 1 November 2018 for a duration of three years.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and IT services, particularly those with expertise in network maintenance and telephony systems. Companies capable of providing operational management within the context of UK public sector contracts would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders in the future. As demonstrated by the awarded contract to Daisy Communications Ltd, larger firms may also have a competitive advantage in these areas, but there remains potential for smaller businesses with niche expertise to succeed, particularly when tendering for contracts under competitive quotation processes.
