The project, geographically situated in the East of England, involves the replacement of the existing telephony solution with an externally hosted system, comprising a contact centre system and a soft phone solution. The procurement, which utilised the CCS Framework RM6116 and adopted a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, has moved to the award stage as of 7 February 2024, following the tender period which ended on 12 December 2023. The contract value stands at £169,689.07, and the implementation period spans from 1 March 2024 to 31 July 2027.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions and telecommunication services.

The nature of the contract, focusing on modernising telephony and contact centre infrastructure, could greatly benefit tech companies capable of offering robust, innovative, and scalable solutions.
