## Summary

The purchasing process, managed by Southampton City Council, concerns the "Operator Connect Provision," which focuses on providing telephone line services via Microsoft Teams. Categorised under miscellaneous services, the tender fits within the broader industry of networks. This process has been completed and concluded with an award made on 5th June 2026. It utilised a limited procurement method, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the procurement falling outside of directive scopes. The contract is valued at £190,512 and has a direct relevance to the region UKJ32, involving a procurement rationale as a framework purchase under PCR2015.

This procurement opportunity presents substantial potential for businesses specialising in telecommunication services, particularly those with expertise in digital communication platforms like Microsoft Teams. The awarded contract to Gamma Telecom Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Manchester, underscores the importance of robust delivery capabilities in this sector. Businesses with a strong presence or operational capabilities in the UK, especially those familiar with regional public services, could significantly benefit from engaging in similar tenders. Companies with innovative solutions to enhance network services and competitive pricing models would be well-positioned to seize such opportunities.
