## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Welland Procurement on behalf of Rutland County Council, involved a tender for the "Telephony Upgrade" project, part of a modernisation programme for the council's technology platform. The industry category for this tender was "Shared-business telephone network services," and it occurred in the region of England, United Kingdom. This process, classified under the procurement method "Other," reached its award stage, concluding with a contract value of £180,000, beginning on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 30th March 2030. The tender had a submission deadline of 24th January 2025, with Opus Business Systems Ltd being awarded the contract on 24th March 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises that can provide state-of-the-art telephony solutions and services as part of modernisation programmes. It offers a lucrative contract over a five-year period, beneficial for businesses aiming to establish or expand their presence in public sector service provision. Although the contract was not designated specifically for SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale businesses, like Opus Business Systems Ltd, which excel in collaborative business network services, are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement context.
