Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, based in Leek Wootton, has completed a procurement process concerning an extension of the contract for rental and support costs of the 101 and 999 emergency lines. Classified under the services industry category, this particular contract was directly awarded to WEST PIER TELECOM LTD, located in Stockport, and falls under the direct procurement method without competition, below the specified threshold. Initiated on 1st May 2026 and slated to conclude on 30th April 2027, this contract extension enables continued service provisions necessary for Warwickshire Police's operational needs, with a gross estimated expenditure of £44,400. This contract is aimed at integrating telephone service provisions into a broader corporate contract within the forthcoming 12 months.

This procurement process presents key opportunities for telecommunications firms, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in providing telephone and data transmission services. Companies capable of offering robust support for emergency communication systems are well-suited to engage in such contracts. While the current contract is completed, businesses should foresee opportunities in future tenders, potentially arising from the integration of emergency line services into larger corporate telephony service contracts.

Notice Title

Rental and Support Costs for 101 and 999 Lines Extended

Notice Description

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has extended the contract for the rental and supports costs for Warwickshire Police's 101 and 999 lines for up to a further 12 months. This is a below threshold contract and is a direct award via an internal exemption process. For transparency the business area raised the purchase order and changed the dates of service prior to seeking approval from our Procurement function hence some discrepancies with previous UK7 notice from last year (ref 2025/S 000-041415). The PO and exemption start from 01 May 2026 however the exemption was retrospectively approved 28 May 2026. Due to being unable to add the date of signing later than commencement of contract this has been inputted on this notice as 01 May 2026. Values are dependent on usage and have been estimated on forecasted spend on call charges. This is a monthly usage agreement, it continues to be an aim to incorporate this provision into a corporate call charges contract within the next 12 months, there are no options to extend.
