Summary of the contracting process

The Financial Ombudsman Service has completed a procurement process for "Smarter Working - Headsets," aimed at acquiring 600 telephone headsets, with a total contract value of £46,099. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically classified under CPV code 32551300. The procurement method used was a limited competitive quotation, which requires suppliers to respond by the tender end date of 14 January 2020. The contract period was set from 16 January 2020 to 27 January 2020, and the project location is in London, UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those that provide telecommunications equipment and related goods. As the procurement was structured for a limited competitive environment, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage. Businesses with expertise in headset technology and capacity to supply large quantities efficiently would be particularly well-suited to compete for future contracts of this nature within the public sector.
