Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has recently completed a procurement process to acquire SIP Trunk Support, aimed at enhancing its voice, streaming, and video capabilities over the internet. This procurement was necessary due to the discontinuation of the previous ISDN solution in 2025. The contract, with a value of £90,000, was directly awarded to Gamma Telecom without prior competition under the CCS Network Services 3 framework, utilising a limited procurement method. The main focus lies in the goods category, specifically supporting general public services within the region of UKM72, Glenrothes. The contract was signed on 11th April 2025, marking the award stage's successful completion.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in telecommunications infrastructure and support services. Large enterprises with experience in delivering comprehensive telecommunication solutions are well-positioned to engage in such direct award opportunities. By aligning with frameworks like the CCS Network Services 3, businesses can build strategic relationships with public sector bodies like Fife Council, increasing their profile and expanding their footprint in the public sector market. Additionally, demonstrating a track record of reliability in the execution of similar projects can open doors to further procurement opportunities in the local authority sector.
