Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured a telephony migration system and associated telephone and data transmission services. The requirement concerns the provision of a system to support migration of the council’s telephony; the location recorded for delivery is Epping, Essex. This is a services contract, with the council as buyer and Gamma Network Solutions Limited selected as supplier. The procurement is a specific call-off from the YPO framework, so it reflects the council’s requirement for telephony migration within that purchasing arrangement rather than a general supply of information systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Gamma Network Solutions Limited. The initial award was made on 31 July 2023, for a contract period from 4 September 2023 to 3 September 2026, valued at £457,291. A further one-year extension was awarded on 31 July 2026, valued at £82,681.20, with the extension period running from 31 August 2026 to 1 September 2027. The overall procurement estimate was £82,681.20. The council used a selective call-off procedure under YPO Framework 976. The initial tender deadline was 31 March 2023. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published data does not state an evaluation weighting or specific award criteria.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates that Epping Forest District Council buys telephony migration systems and related telephone and data transmission services through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to deliver a telephony migration system and associated services, and be able to compete through the relevant framework route. The appointed supplier, Gamma Network Solutions Limited, is recorded as a large business, while the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms were also considered appropriate to the requirement. This is a focused opportunity for providers with practical telephony migration capability and the capacity to support a council’s service transition. The award and extension show demand for the service over an initial multi-year contract followed by a further year. The data gives no more detailed technical or accreditation requirements to use as a benchmark.
