Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Voice Network Connectivity Service," led by the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, has reached its award stage. This contract falls under the industry category of telephone and data transmission services (CPV code 64210000) and pertains to the East of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender initially ended on 1st March 2026, followed by an active award made on 13th February 2026. The service contract, valued at £81,355 GBP, is set to run from 7th May 2026 to 6th May 2029.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications, specifically those capable of delivering robust SIP trunk connectivity and comprehensive voice communication services.

The winning supplier, a small or medium-sized enterprise itself, exemplifies how companies of this scale can achieve success in selective procurement processes by leveraging their expertise in the specified field.
