UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "AudioCodes" was initiated by The Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire. Situated in Kempston, UK, the organisation operates within the sub-central government category. The contract involved services related to "System and support services," specifically aiming to acquire AudioCodes Mediant 2600 Session Border Controllers as a redundant pair. The procurement method applied was "below threshold - limited competition," indicating a more targeted and limited approach. This process has completed the award and contract stages, with BT BUSINESS DIRECT LTD, located in London, designated as the supplier. Key dates include the contract start date of 3rd September 2025 and end date on 31st March 2026, with the contract finalised on 1st September 2025.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses involved in IT systems and support services, particularly those capable of providing border controller technologies in a secured manner. Companies that can demonstrate a reliable, high-quality service within the government supplier space would find this contract beneficial for growth, given the established relationship with a public body like the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire. The contract value being substantial, at £13,270.77, further underlines the potential for financial growth and market credibility for the winning supplier. Large businesses, especially those already adept in working with public authorities and capable of fulfilling specialised procurement needs, are well-positioned to compete for such tenders.
