## Summary

Arts Council England, a public authority within the central government, has completed a procurement process for a SIP Telephony Contract identified as "ACE 1050 DAC". This procurement, conducted under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54, involved the direct procurement method below the competition threshold, focusing on services in telephone connections and switchboard services. Positioned in Manchester, UK, the contract was awarded to Voyager Networks Limited, a small to medium enterprise based in Leeds. The procurement stage has moved to the award and contract status as of 5th November 2025, with the contract active from 29th September 2025 to 28th September 2026, and the possibility of renewal for two additional 12-month periods.

This procurement offers considerable opportunities for SMEs specialising in telecommunications and call management services to engage with public sector contracts. The awarded value of £51,624 underscores the potential financial benefits for qualifying suppliers. Companies experienced in telephony solutions and related services will find such contracts appealing, particularly in light of the below-threshold procurement approach, which may reduce the competitive intensity compared to larger public tenders. The possibility of contract renewal could further imply sustained business growth and revenue stability for the successful bidder.
