## Summary

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured non-geographic telephone lines for its SPA service. The requirement is a telecommunications service: providing telephone numbers that are not tied to a specific geographic area. The Trust is the buyer. The award record identifies the service but gives no further operational scope, such as call volumes, routing arrangements or service levels. No delivery location is identified beyond the Trust being based in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, so the place of service delivery cannot be determined from the published procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Babble Cloud Limited. It was handled by direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded; the recorded award is active, and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September to 30 September 2026. Its value is £11,029.74 excluding VAT, or £13,235.68 including VAT. The award is for telecommunications services, but no evaluation criteria or basis for selecting the supplier is stated. The procurement record identifies no tender submission or evaluation process beyond the direct award route.

This award shows that Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust buys non-geographic telephone lines for its SPA service, through a below-threshold direct award. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to provide the relevant non-geographic telephone service and demonstrate it can support the Trust’s operational needs. The published scope does not set out technical specifications, call volumes, service levels, required accreditations or minimum supplier capacity, so it does not establish a more detailed capability profile. The awarded supplier is a large business, but the procurement does not indicate that supplier size was a requirement or selection factor. The requirement was short in duration and modest in scale, making it most relevant to telecommunications providers able to deliver non-geographic lines for NHS services.
