Summary of the contracting process

The Medway Council is seeking to procure a Hosted Telephony Service in the industry category of Telephone cables and associated equipment. This tender, initiated under an open procurement method, has completed its process, with key dates spanning from the start of the contract on 18th March 2016 to its conclusion on 17th March 2021. The initial tender period ended on 7th March 2016, and the awarded contract was valued at £41,973, provided by the supplier Gamma, located in Greater London. The contract's minimum value was set at £27,000, indicating a significant investment in telephony services for the local authority.

This opportunity presents a pathway for business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in telephony and communication solutions, as the contract was designed to eliminate the need for local infrastructure, relying instead on hosted solutions. Firms capable of delivering innovative hosted telephony services, especially those that can offer reliable support and ongoing service flexibility, would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders. With the local authority's focus on enhancing digital communication, businesses prepared to adapt and provide tailored services will have a competitive edge.
