Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "PKC13604 PSTN/PDPL circuits" was initiated by Perth & Kinross Council, a regional or local authority based in Perth, UK. This contract, which falls under the industry category of 'General public services,' specifically involves the procurement of PDPL circuits aimed at supporting the cessation of PSTN lines. The contract award was granted to British Telecommunications PLC, following a limited procurement method that involved no prior publication of a call for competition, as it was a direct award due to technical reasons. The procurement stage is complete, with the relevant contract being signed on 29th August 2025. The implementation will occur within the Perth and Kinross Council area, and the total contract value is £17,808.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses engaged in telecommunications and IT services to utilise innovative solutions in a public service setting, specifically focusing on circuit provision and technological advancements. However, the direct award suggests limited opportunities for new entrants due to specific technical requirements and pre-existing infrastructure with the chosen supplier, British Telecommunications PLC. Companies already involved in similar public service contracts or those possessing niche technological capabilities in telecommunications would find themselves well-positioned to engage in similar opportunities facilitated by direct awards, particularly where technical prerequisites limit broader competition.
