Summary of the contracting process

Brentwood Borough Council is buying telephony services comprising Zoom licences and support for Zoom Phone, Zoom Contact Centre and Zoom Virtual Agent. The requirement covers software and related telecommunications and IT support services. Delivery is in Brentwood, Essex. The services are intended to provide the council with Zoom-based telephony and contact-centre capability, including virtual-agent functionality. The buyer is Brentwood Borough Council; the selected supplier is Zoom Communications Inc. This is a council-specific requirement for licensing and support across the named Zoom products, rather than a general purchase of software or telecommunications services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Zoom Communications Inc. The award was made on 30 April 2026, with a contract running from 30 April 2026 to 29 April 2029. The awarded contract value is £173,851.35. The original estimated procurement range was £173,851.35 to £231,801.80. Brentwood Borough Council used a selective route, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 April 2026 at 5pm. The available evaluation information does not state specific award criteria or weightings. The award is recorded as active.

This award shows that Brentwood Borough Council buys an integrated Zoom telephony package covering phone licences, contact-centre capability, virtual-agent functionality and ongoing support. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate the ability to supply and support all three elements as a joined-up service, with sufficient capacity to serve a borough council over a multi-year contract. Experience implementing and supporting Zoom Phone, Zoom Contact Centre and Zoom Virtual Agent would be directly relevant, alongside dependable telecommunications and IT service delivery. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so suppliers seeking similar work with this council should be positioned to compete through an applicable framework. The recorded award went to a large supplier, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
