Summary of the contracting process

The Health and Care Professions Council, one of the sub-central government authorities in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Microsoft Teams and Five9 Unified Communications Offering with associated Gamma SIP Trunks." This project falls under the goods category, specifically communication software packages, and involves the implementation of a new cloud-based telephony and customer contact solution. The award date was 25 July 2025, and the contract period is set to commence on 14 January 2026, ending on 13 January 2029, with possible extensions until 2031. The procurement method used was direct and below the threshold, which means no competition was involved.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in communication software, particularly those with capabilities in cloud-based solutions. Companies with expertise in Microsoft Teams and Five9 configurations could potentially benefit from establishing partnerships or providing complementary services. Given the procurement was awarded to OPUS BUSINESS SYSTEMS LTD, an SME based in Surrey, similar-sized enterprises with flexible and modern telecommunication solutions might find an edge in competing for related contracts or extensions of this project. As the contract includes possibilities for renewal based on mutual agreement and additional options for purchases, businesses looking to expand their offerings in the public sector will discover significant growth prospects through collaborations or subcontracting agreements under the framework agreement terms and conditions.
