## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service, a sub-central government public authority based at New Scotland Yard in London, has undertaken a procurement process for the provision of pre-digital phone lines to replace existing PSTN lines. This process falls under the services category, specifically telephone and data transmission services, and was executed via a direct procurement method below threshold, without competition. The procurement, titled "Pre-Digital Phone Lines," was awarded to British Telecommunications Public Limited Company. The contract, valued at £92,400, commenced on 18th August 2025 and will conclude on 17th August 2026. This award is part of the services infrastructure improvements necessary due to the planned nationwide switch-off of the PSTN system.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications services to align with the infrastructural shifts dictated by the PSTN phase-out. Organisations capable of offering competitive, reliable telephonic solutions that meet public authority standards stand to benefit from such procurement activities. Large-scale telecommunication suppliers, like the chosen contractor, can leverage such opportunities to demonstrate their competence in large public sector projects, potentially opening doors for future contracts in similar government-led technology updates.
