Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Teesside University is conducting an open tender for the replacement of its telephone SIP trunk lines, an essential service for the campus’s telecommunication needs. This procurement falls under the goods category and relates to the telecommunications network sector, with a contract value of £100,000 and a minimum value of £50,000. The tender period ends on 25th July 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 25th November 2019 and run until 24th November 2024, including potential extensions. Bids are sought from suitably qualified suppliers to ensure a resilient SIP service that supports the transition from legacy systems.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in the public procurement space. Businesses specialising in telecommunications, particularly those with expertise in SIP network services, installation, and configuration, would be well-positioned to compete. As the University aims to enhance its telecommunication infrastructure, involvement in this project could lead to further contracts and long-term partnerships with a prominent educational institution in the North East of the UK.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-Middlesbrough: Replacement Telephone SIP Trunk Lines

Notice Description

Teesside University's telephony services are primarily based upon two platforms: *Unify iSDX telephone system supporting approximately 2,000 telephones. *Microsoft Skype for Business (SfB) solution supporting approximately 200 telephones. Additionally the University has invested in Microsoft Teams for their Unified Communication requirements for staff and students, supporting 800 academic staff and 4000 students. Following a recent assessment it was concluded to remove any dependencies of the legacy telephone systems, and that a replacement telephone solution would be put in place. Teesside University is seeking bids from suitably qualified Suppliers for the supply of a resilient SIP service to support its replacement telephone solution across the campus locations. The University requires that the SIP Network Services be engineered and architected in a manner to facilitate the University's requirements, and enables the migration of telephone services from the legacy telephone systems to the new telephone solution over a period of time. Accordingly, the Bidder shall be responsible for the supply, installation and configuration of SIP Network Services to address the requirements. To facilitate business continuity it is expected that the infrastructure is distributed within two data centres (Middlesbrough Tower and Parkside West). The Bidder shall base support pricing upon a three year contract period with two optional one year extensions (i.e. 3 + 1 + 1) and then indefinitely on a 12 month basis. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
