Summary of the contracting process

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde purchased Ascom handsets for use in Glasgow. This is a supply contract for handset equipment, rather than a service or construction project. The procurement was managed by the health board, which is based in Glasgow. The stated requirement is limited to the purchase of the handsets; no wider telecommunications installation or support scope is described. The award was made against a framework, so the purchase was a call-off rather than a standalone procurement. The requirement was grouped as one lot. The published item classification corresponds to telephone sets, but the practical scope is identified as Ascom handsets.

The procurement is complete and British Telecom was selected for the single lot through an open procedure, with the award made against a framework. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and is active. Its stated value is £55,686.23. The award data also records subcontracting valued at £55,686.23. Bid statistics show one bid received, which was electronic and from a non-EU supplier; none came from an SME. No award date or contract end date is recorded in the process data. The contract period and evaluation criteria are not set out in the available details. The lot is complete, and the record identifies no option for additional purchases.

For suppliers tracking future handset requirements from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, this award is evidence of demand for Ascom handsets through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to source and supply the specified handset equipment and be able to compete through the relevant framework route. British Telecom, a large supplier, won this purchase; the recorded subcontracting suggests delivery may involve subcontracted activity, although the nature of that work is not described. The recorded competition consisted of one bid, with no SME bid, so the award demonstrates a market in which a smaller supplier may need framework access, suitable supply capacity and a clear route to fulfilment to compete effectively. The requirement is specifically handset supply, not broader, unrelated NHS technology work.
