## Summary

The Scottish Government is conducting a tender for the establishment of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Telephony Services, with a total estimated value of up to £10 million. This procurement, classified under the services category, is currently in the 'Tender' phase and requires submissions by 19 June 2018. The location for the services is Glasgow, UK, and providers must have relevant cyber security accreditations. The procurement will follow a selective method using a restricted procedure, enabling ongoing entries from suppliers who meet the criteria throughout the contract period.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telephony solutions, including traditional telephony, Internet Protocol (IP) telephony, and bundled services. Companies with expertise in digital communication technologies and cyber security are particularly well-suited to compete. The DPS aims to simplify access for Scottish public sector bodies to a variety of telephony services, promoting collaboration and innovation. Firms with a solid track record and experience in delivering such services will find this process advantageous for securing contracts and expanding their operations within the public sector market.

## Notice

The Authority is establishing a collaborative Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Telephony Services. The DPS will comprise a number of categories (lots) for the provision of Traditional Telephony, Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony and Enterprise Bundled Services. A key objective is to offer a straightforward, flexible and suitable route to market for Scottish public sector bodies. See section III.1.1 for details of public sector organisations who can access the DPS. Suppliers must hold a third party Cyber Security accreditation e.g. Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, IASME or be able to provide evidence of equivalency on request and details of this must be provided at Section 2.2 of the technical envelope within the ESPD.

The DPS will be open to entrants throughout its life who meet the minimum criteria.
