Summary of the contracting process

Crescent Purchasing Consortium Limited is procuring a framework for communication and connectivity goods and associated support services (CPV 32500000, telecommunications equipment and supplies). The scope covers Unified Communications and Telephony, Mobile Communications, Broadband Network Services, and integrated communications and connectivity solutions. Purchases may include a wide range of products, services and support, bought in varying quantities by current and future CPC member institutions across the UK. Eligible organisations registered on the UK Register of Learning Providers can use the framework, as can eligible wider public sector contracting authorities through Crescent Services. Delivery is therefore UK-wide, with potential use across the wider public sector.

The process reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 20 August 2026 at 13:00 UK time. The framework contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029. Its estimated value is £10,000,000. It is divided into four lots: Unified Communications and Telephony; Mobile Communications; Broadband Network Services; and Integrated Communications and Connectivity Solution. Suppliers may be manufacturers or resellers. The opportunity is described as a framework for purchases during the framework period, with orders made in varying quantities. Offers are sought for the specified products, services and support across the four lots.

This opportunity suits manufacturers and resellers of telecommunications, unified communications, telephony, mobile, broadband and connectivity products, as well as providers able to deliver associated support services. It is relevant to businesses that can supply a broad portfolio or specialise in one of the four lots. Suppliers should be able to support public sector customers across the UK and manage orders of varying quantities over a multi-year framework. The requirement also favours businesses able to work collaboratively with CPC members and develop innovative partnerships. SMEs are identified as suitable, making the opportunity accessible to smaller specialist suppliers as well as larger communications and connectivity providers.
