UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "GSM Gateway Solutions" was orchestrated by Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. This process, categorised under 'goods' within the technology industry, entailed a direct procurement approach aimed to secure a 12-month contract for a GSM Gateway solution. The contract, which was realised under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, includes provisions for both talk minutes and text messages. The contract commenced on 1 January 2026 and expires on 31 December 2026. Although it was a 'below threshold' procurement and did not involve competition, it provides vital telecommunication services required by the trust, ensuring its operations are seamlessly supported. This procurement was concluded in the 'award' stage with Telephone Technology Ltd being appointed as the supplier after the contract signing date of 10 December 2025.

This procurement offers a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in telecommunications and technology solutions, to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector. Enterprises with proficiency in GSM technology and value-added support services would find this tender beneficial to leverage a foothold with a reputable public authority like a central government NHS Trust. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adept in providing rapid deployment of communication solutions may specifically find such direct procurement methods advantageous, where extensive competitive procedures are not a prerequisite, allowing them immediate business growth and network expansion within the UK market.
