Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under consideration involves the Government Property Agency, which sought bids for the "Provision of Telephony Services." This project falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on the installation and provision of telephony equipment, classified under CPV code 51340000. The location for this procurement is the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is noted as "Award," with the contract having been awarded to Vodafone UK Limited on 30th September 2025, for a value of GBP 493,897. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it was called off from a framework agreement RM6116 Lot 4b.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunication services, particularly those capable of delivering Dedicated Internet Access and voice-enabled telephony services. Large enterprises such as Vodafone UK Limited, which eventually secured the contract, are well-suited to compete in such tenders due to their extensive resources and capabilities. However, the nature of this procurement, being a call-off from an established framework, can also enable smaller businesses to participate indirectly by forming partnerships or subcontracting arrangements with the main awardees, potentially fostering business growth in this sector.
