Summary of the contracting process

The buying organisation, Blackburn with Darwen, has initiated a public procurement for a Unified Communication Telephony Solution within the industry category of Telecommunications services. Located in the Blackburn region (UKD41), this procurement is currently at the tender stage, with submissions closing on 19th October 2023. It involves replacing the existing Skype for Business telephony service with a new Microsoft Teams telephony solution, along with associated SIP Direct Routing network services. This effort is part of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council's (BDBC) strategy to enhance their communication facilities. The procurement will be conducted through a restricted procedure, targeting services, and has a total budget of GBP 1,000,000 for a contract period lasting 2520 days.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications services, particularly those with expertise in Microsoft Teams and SIP network solutions. Suitable participants would be businesses capable of designing, providing necessary hardware, and supporting the installation and configuration of the telephony solution. Companies experienced in handling phased migrations from previous telephony systems to modern unified communication platforms will find significant scope for growth. The tender award criteria place emphasis on quality (45%), total cost of ownership (40%), and social value (15%), making it a well-rounded opportunity for businesses to showcase their comprehensive service offerings.
