Summary of the contracting process

SSE plc is seeking to procure a cloud-based Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) solution to replace its existing Distribution Customer Services contact centre infrastructure. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically programming services of packaged software products, as indicated by CPV code 72210000. The initial tender was titled "FW Service - Cloud Contact Management - Multi 0124" but further updates and amendments are linked to the project "SSEN Distribution Contact Channel Management - Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS)." The latest details include an award to Accenture (UK) Limited, with the contract being signed on 15 November 2024. The procurement method followed a selective process involving a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, and covered locations within the UK. Notable deadlines included the submission date of 26 April 2024.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies with expertise in customer service transformation and contact centre technologies. Businesses with existing cloud-based contact centre solutions and capabilities to integrate and manage multi-channel customer interactions would be well-suited to compete. The SSE plc’s focus on delivering exceptional customer experience through a unified service tooling ecosystem suggests openings for vendors with scalable and innovative technologies that can replace legacy systems and enhance service quality, delivery approaches, and security. Large enterprises with a proven track record in similar implementations, like Accenture, can find lucrative potential in this contract, paving the way for further engagements within the utility sector.
