## Summary

The University of Sheffield has completed the procurement process for the "2950/MH Clearing Cloud Communications Platform Renewal," a tender aimed at enhancing their cloud-based clearing services. This contract, valued at £135,000, falls under the industry category of telephone switchboard services and covers the contract period from 24th May 2021 to 23rd May 2023. The procurement was carried out through a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 21st May 2021.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their services in cloud communications. Businesses specialising in telecommunication services and related technologies would find this procurement appealing, particularly those capable of delivering innovative solutions that cater to the specific needs of educational institutions during uncertain operational conditions.

## Notice

The University moved to cloud provision of its Clearing Services during the enforced working from home period of 2020 onwards. This contract renews and upgrades the services we use due to the ongoing uncertainties of whether or not we will have access to staff and operational equipment to allow us to provide this vital service for clearing in both 2021 and 2022. G Cloud 12 was used.
