The tender is currently active and is classified under the goods category, specifically within the communications and telecommunication equipment industry. This open procedure invites suppliers to submit their bids by 16th January 2018. The estimated contract value is £650,000, with a minimum value of £300,000. The contract is expected to commence on 1st March 2018 and run until 30th June 2021. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunication systems and related technologies, particularly those capable of providing unified communication services, call logging, and paging solutions. Companies interested in establishing strong partnerships with healthcare providers will find this contract especially appealing, as it requires collaboration with existing service providers at the hospital. The nature of the project allows for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete effectively, particularly those with proven experience in similar implementations. ## Notice Papworth Hospital will be moving to new premises in June 2018 and needs a replacement telephony service and implementation that will enable the following: Unified Communications across PC, tablet and mobile end points in any location Voicemail to email notification and message delivery Temporary Links to old Papworth via WAN (SIP) Permanent link to Cambridge University Hospital (CUH) via fibre and SIP/DPNSS New number plan Resilient, dual data centre solution between NPH and CUH Resilient, transparent connectivity with Justinian House, the administration unit. Provide functionality that moves with the user - accessible via a laptop, desktop, tablet or smart phone; Call logging Call recording Connectivity with paging systems (SIP) Option to provide a paging system, with a back up antenna, linked to the telephony system via SIP A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) will be installed allowing mobile communications to operate throughout the new property (via direct links to Mobile Network Operators), including 4G which will provide back up to PSTN services and internal UC functions. This will also be vital to providing additional information to crash and PPCI teams. The two paging transmitters will be linked to the CUH base Station Hotel (BSH) which also forms part of this tender as an option. DAS will be the primary paging antenna system, but there will also be a high output power back up aerial and transmitter to cover NPH in the case of DAS failure, possibly located on the roof of CUH. Papworth Hospital is looking to engage with and appoint a single supplier for the purpose of carrying out the design, implementation, training and project management for the implementation of the new systems. It is understood that the paging solution may require the Supplier to engage with a partner/sub contractor and details of this arrangement must be provided. Please also note that suppliers will need to work with existing providers to Papworth Hospital. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d30054-46bb-43b4-aa57-33429b0829bb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2018 - 30 Jun 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £650,000 | | 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 | NHS SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LTD (NHS SBS) | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB23 3RE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | South Cambridgeshire | | Electoral ward | Caxton & Papworth | | Westminster constituency | St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 32250000 - Mobile telephones - 32412000 - Communications network - 32500000 - Telecommunications equipment and supplies ## Release History - 6 Dec 2017 at 17:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d30054-46bb-43b4-aa57-33429b0829bb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/16d30054-46bb-43b4-aa57-33429b0829bb 6th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=22486&B=NHSSBS Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/39 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
