Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "DWP Audio Conferencing" project, managed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), sought self-service audio conferencing services under the telecommunications sector. The call-off was made through a framework agreement, and the contract value was approximately £1,500,000. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract period running from 21 August 2017 to 20 August 2018.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications services, particularly those offering audio conferencing solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete for future tenders in this area, given the DWP's openness to collaborations with diverse suppliers. Understanding the nuances of public procurement could enable these businesses to leverage frameworks effectively and grow their market presence.
