Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has concluded a procurement process titled "EPIC Centre, BT Contract," classified under the industry category of Radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment (CPV code 32000000), with additional emphasis on Networking, Internet, and intranet software packages (CPV code 48200000). The procurement was a direct award re-negotiation of an existing contract to British Telecommunications (BT). The contract encompasses BT Cloud services, including VOIP telephony and a 1GB internet service, set to be delivered from 2nd July 2024 to 2nd July 2029. The total contract value is GBP 31,980, and the delivery will take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers specialising in telecommunication and networking infrastructure. Although the contract has already been awarded to a large-scale supplier, British Telecommunications (BT), businesses involved in similar services can gain insights into the types of contracts that councils are willing to re-negotiate and re-award. This could guide large enterprises in preparing for future contracts by understanding the procurement needs and preferences of regional councils like Torbay Council.
