## Summary

Derbyshire County Council has awarded a contract titled "Telephony - Discounted Calls and Lines" for the provision of telephony services, including discounted calls and lines. This award, totalling £1,545,030, follows a direct procurement method due to time constraints linked to previous contracts. The contract period is set from 1 November 2016 to 31 October 2019, with the delivery address located in the East Midlands, England. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the official announcement made on 9 December 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for telecommunication companies, particularly those poised to offer innovative communication solutions tailored to public sector needs. Businesses experienced in providing telephony services or those with capacity to build on existing frameworks are well-suited to engage in future tenders, especially as Derbyshire County Council reviews its ICT strategy for potential upcoming procurement processes.

## Notice

Direct award to existing contractor of telephony services, including discounted calls and lines. The BT Accumulate Contract and the PV10 Contract were previously purchased through a CCS Framework. We were not made aware of this change until the extensions for the original contracts were due, which meant that there was not enough time to re-procure. BT have agreed to continue to provide the calls and lines with the same discount as CCS. The Council's ICT Strategy is currently being reviewed, which will include how calls and lines will be purchased in the future. This direct award should cover the period of the review and any resulting procurement. OJUE advert reference TED62-2016-002084
