## Summary

The University of Southampton has awarded a contract for the procurement of 500 Audiocodes 405HD IP Phones, with 250 units to be stored until July 2023 and the remaining 250 until December 2023. The procurement method was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The total contract value is £57,180 GBP. The contract period is from March 31, 2023, to December 30, 2024, and the tender period ended on March 30, 2023. The procurement falls under the 'Telecommunications equipment and supplies' category.

This tender by the University of Southampton presents opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs. Businesses in the telecommunications equipment and supplies industry would be well-suited to compete. The contract involves the installation of devices across the University's site, creating potential for business growth. Suppliers, like Avoira Limited, that can provide the specified products within the outlined deadlines could benefit from engaging with the University for future opportunities.

## Notice

The University of Southampton intends to procure 500 Audiocodes 405HD IP Phones, 250 of which are to be held in bonded storage until end of month July 2023, and the remaining 250 are to be held in bond until end of month December 2023. This is to facilitate the planned, phased programme of installing the units across the University's site, and to mitigate against the limited storage space available to house the units over the period of the works to roll-out the devices.
