Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "BT Connectivity" contract was conducted by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex, focusing on the telecommunications network industry category. This contract pertains to goods, specifically for Legacy PSTN Lines Connectivity, and is situated in the UKJ region. This procurement was part of a completed tender stage, with the award signed on 30th May 2025. It involved a limited procurement method, chosen for a direct award under the CCS Network Service 3 framework to BT due to the protection of exclusive rights, justifying an award without prior publication. Notably, this was a contract with the option of a 12-month rolling period and termination at any time.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications and network services, particularly those capable of maintaining legacy PSTN systems. Large-scale businesses like BT LIMITED, which was the sole supplier participating, are well-suited to compete due to their capacity to fulfil specialised and exclusive service requirements in this sector. By securing such contracts, businesses can solidify their market presence and explore long-term partnerships with regional agencies and offices, such as those represented by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex.
