Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority procured unified communications and connectivity services, a telecommunications requirement covering cloud telephony, voice services, broadband, SIP trunking and related telecommunications services. The services support the Authority’s communications needs across its operations in Warrington and the North West of England. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction project. The requirement is relevant to telecommunications operators, managed communications providers and service integrators able to deliver several connected services under one arrangement. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that smaller providers could participate where they had the necessary service capability and framework access. The buyer is the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, based at Hinton House in Warrington.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to British Telecommunications Public Limited Company trading as BT PLC, for £125,608.41 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2029. The procurement is complete and the award is active. It covers one telecommunications services requirement, with no separate lot awards reported. The published information identifies the contract value, supplier, award date and delivery period, but does not set out an additional quality or price weighting beyond the framework call-off route.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to provide an integrated communications portfolio rather than a single connectivity service. Relevant capability includes cloud telephony, voice services, broadband and SIP trunking, together with the ability to manage related telecommunications services as a coherent customer solution. Providers should be able to demonstrate operational capacity across the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s Warrington and wider North West activities, with reliable service management, implementation and ongoing support. Framework access is commercially important because this requirement was placed through a framework call-off. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a large telecommunications operator can meet the buyer’s need, while the stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist or managed-service providers may also be credible, particularly through a framework position or delivery partnership.
