## Summary

The University of Sheffield is conducting a procurement process for the title "2745/MH Recommended Headsets" within the telecommunications industry, specifically focusing on telephone headsets. This tender is currently in the award stage, having been officially awarded on 2nd December 2020. The contract is set to run until 30th November 2022, with a total contract value of £250,000, of which an initial award of £20,000 has been made to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The procurement method employed is selective, utilising a call-off from an existing framework agreement, and delivery will be to various locations across Yorkshire and the Humber.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in goods related to telecommunications hardware, particularly those providing headsets. Companies that are well-suited to compete include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can efficiently supply individual and bulk purchases over the contract period. The ongoing demand for headset solutions to support remote working arrangements indicates a sustained growth potential for suppliers in this sector.

## Notice

The University is expecting to have the requirements for many headset purchases over the next 2 years to both support staff in working from home situations and some potential changes to how telephony is done. It is anticipated that there will be the requirement for many individual and bulk purchases of headsets so the University has created a call off under the SUPC IT Related Accessories and Parts framework agreement for headsets which it now recommends for our stakeholders to buy, without the need to request quotes from each member of this framework agreement each time a purchase needs to be made.
