The contract is for a duration of 2 years, with a potential extension for another 4 years. The total contract value amounts to £294,000, and the tender deadline is set for June 23, 2023. This opportunity falls under the telecommunication services category and is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This tender by Aston University presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in telecommunication services to engage with a prestigious educational institution. Companies offering integrated landline and mobile telephony solutions, with capabilities for system integration and scalability, are well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, considering the contract's focus on a shared bundle of minutes, texts, and data. The procurement process invites innovative suppliers capable of meeting the University's functional requirements and business system integration needs. ## Notice Aston University is going out to tender for the provision of mobile and telephony services as a combined offering, providing a scalable solution, providing flexibility and predictable costs. Mobile handsets are to be provided as part of the service offering. Landline requirements will include retention of existing ISDN lines and SIP lines. Aston University is looking for a single contract covering all elements of telephone communications (excluding the university telephone system). By embarking on this procurement process the University wishes to identify suitable suppliers of both landline telephony and mobile communications, which is the best fit solution in terms of functional requirements and business system integration. Ideally the University would want to identify a Landline and Mobile Telephony service that not only meets all, or the key aspects of required functionality and service, but also is part of an integrated business system solution capable of meeting the broader financial, procurement and functionality. The University is therefore seeking to contract with an organisation that must be able to provide a package solution (based on a shared bundle of minutes, texts and data), to meet the functional requirements of the University. The University wishes to enter into a single contract for the supply of goods and services. If suppliers are to propose to engage a third party to supply any of the elements, this arrangement must be covered by a formal subcontract agreement between the Tenderer and the third party (ies). The contract will be for 2 years, with the option to extend for a further 2 year +2 year basis. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/47e1f610-dafe-4dfe-8226-3c148ce3e58f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jul 2023 - 31 Aug 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £294,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ASTON UNIVERSITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B4 7ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Nechells | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 64200000 - Telecommunications services ## Release History - 23 May 2023 at 23:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/47e1f610-dafe-4dfe-8226-3c148ce3e58f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/47e1f610-dafe-4dfe-8226-3c148ce3e58f 23rd May 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index?v=2 Link to Aston University's e-tendering portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.aston.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
