## Summary

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has recently completed a procurement process for Unified Communications services, engaging Vodafone Limited as the supplier. This contract, valued at £21.5 million, allows Vodafone to supply telephony services for a period of twelve months, commencing from 20th November 2020 and concluding on 19th November 2021. The procurement falls under the telecommunications industry and was executed through a tender initiated by BEIS following a previous arrangement made under the Department of Energy and Climate Change. Key details include the contract period starting on 20th November 2020, with the tender period having ended on 19th November 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for telecommunications and IT service providers looking to expand their footprint within public sector contracts.

With BEIS being a key governmental department, firms that can demonstrate innovative capabilities in unified communications and reliable service provision may find further competitive advantages in engaging with similar procurement processes.
