## Summary

The Wolverhampton City Council is currently engaged in the award stage of a procurement process titled "Transfer of Analogue Lines." This project involves maintaining up to 221 PSTN exchange lines and is classified under the telecommunications industry category, specifically focusing on communication equipment. The contract was published on 23rd November 2021, with quotations invited before the deadline of 7th December 2021. The contract period spans from 31st January 2022 to 30th January 2023, with a total value of £73,000, awarded to Virgin Media Business Limited, who have committed to maintaining the existing services while transition plans to SIP lines are implemented.

This procurement process offers substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the telecommunications sector. Businesses specialising in telecommunication services, particularly those experienced in maintaining PSTN or replacing analogue systems with modern services, would be well-placed to compete for similar contracts. The focus on a locally delivered service in the West Midlands enhances the potential for local suppliers to engage with the council's needs and grow their presence by showcasing their expertise in both service delivery and customer support.
