Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Ealing Council has successfully awarded a contract for network and telephony services to BT Group plc under the award stage of the procurement process. This procurement was conducted via the selective method, specifically as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services' Network Services 3 Framework (RM6116). The contract encompasses several services such as inter-site connectivity, local area network services, and telephony communications. Located in London, this contract is valued at approximately £3,814,241 excluding VAT, with the initial term set for three years beginning on 1st April 2026, and an option to extend for an extra two years. The procurement is classified under the industry category of 'Telephone network', with the tender comprising several cross-lot services but excluding the contact centre, which will be managed separately.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with capabilities in providing comprehensive telecommunications solutions and managed network services. The selective procurement method indicates that the competition was limited but suggests that businesses with a strong record in framework agreements, like larger established telecom providers, are well-suited to leverage similar opportunities. Companies in the technological and communications sectors aiming to partner with or supply to public sector organisations could potentially use frameworks like CCS as an entry point to further expand their business portfolio in public contracts.
