## Summary

The tender for the provision of Telephony Services is being issued by Housing 21, located in Birmingham, UK. This tender falls under the telecommunications services category and has a total value of £650,000. The open procurement method is being utilised, and the tender period is set to close on 21 January 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2022 and last until 31 March 2027, reflecting a significant commitment to improving communication infrastructure in response to changing working practices accelerated by COVID-19.

This opportunity could facilitate substantial business growth for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) that provide telecommunications services. Businesses offering innovative telephony solutions, flexible working technologies, or remote working infrastructure are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender, as Housing 21 aims to adapt to new operational needs while enhancing service delivery across their organisation.

## Notice

Changes in working practice within Housing 21, including the devolved model, increased mobile working, flexible working and working from home have meant that the existing infrastructure and services provided by Housing 21 are no longer fit for purpose to meet the organisations current and future needs. These changes have been accelerated considerably since the effect of COVID19 which has seen a huge shift in remote working requirements.
