Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Unified Communications" project is being conducted by Orbit Group Limited, located at Garden Court, Harry Weston Road, Binley Business Park, Coventry, England. Currently in the planning stage, the initiative focuses on replacing the existing contact centre platform to address technology obsolescence and future integration needs. Interested suppliers should note that engagement will close at 10:00 am on 25th May 2019. The procurement method initiated is through a tender, with an emphasis on Software as a Service (SaaS) or hosted solutions, particularly aligned with the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Teams.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specialising in software solutions and telecommunications. Companies capable of providing cloud-based contact centre platforms and integrating ERP systems will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Notably, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the flexible licensing approach Orbit wishes to adopt, enabling scalability based on the evolving needs of their technology infrastructure.
