Summary of the contracting process

The Church of England Central Services Trading Limited is currently seeking suppliers through an open tender for the "Church of England Telecoms Framework Agreement 2018." This procurement process, focused on telecommunications services, particularly aims to enhance mobile and WiFi connectivity in rural church communities. The tender is in the active stage with a closing date of 16 March 2018, following an amendment that extended the deadline for Lot 4, which concerns Wireless Connectivity. The procurement includes multiple lots, with a total value of £5,000,000 and a minimum contract value of £1,000,000, set to commence on 2 April 2018 and run until 1 April 2022, in London, UK.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the telecommunications sector, as it focuses on developing flexible telecommunications solutions for the Church of England which may include fixed telephony, mobile services, and maintenance support. Companies that engage with local communities and possess experience in delivering connectivity solutions, especially in areas lacking traditional infrastructure, would be well-suited to compete. The emphasis on collaboration with parish churches to improve connectivity services aligns well with businesses committed to community engagement and rural development.
