The requirement is a specialist telecommunications and paging maintenance service, covering the infrastructure already used by the health board rather than a new installation. The work supports paging communications within the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde estate. The service falls under CPV 64200000, covering telecommunications services. The selected provider is Multitone Electronics Plc, a large supplier based in Basingstoke. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses with established capability in maintaining paging systems and related telecommunications infrastructure, particularly in a healthcare environment where continuity of existing services is important. The procurement is complete and has been awarded, with an active contract signed on 19 August 2026. Multitone Electronics Plc was selected for a 12-month contract covering the single lot. The contract value is £236,688.58. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, relying on the absence of competition for technical reasons because the requirement concerns existing infrastructure. The award was evaluated on price and one electronic bid was recorded; it came from a non-EU supplier and was not from an SME. The procurement rationale says the health board is reviewing its infrastructure during the 12-month period, with a view to avoiding further awards without competition. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined NHS demand for specialist maintenance of established paging infrastructure, at a substantial single-site health-board scale. A credible competitor would need demonstrable technical capability to support and maintain the existing Multitone paging environment, preserve service continuity and work within NHS operational settings. The route used here shows that incumbent-system knowledge and technical compatibility were decisive: the buyer considered that only a particular operator could provide the service for technical reasons. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar future requirements would therefore need strong evidence of relevant paging and telecommunications maintenance experience, suitably capable engineers, responsive support arrangements and the ability to understand or manage infrastructure transition while the health board reviews its estate. ## Notice Award of 12 month contract to Multitone Electronics Ltd for maintenance of existing infrastructure within NHS GGC. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Award of 12 month contract to Multitone Electronics Ltd for maintenance of existing infrastructure within NHS GGC. ### Procurement Information Award of 12 month contract to Multitone Electronics Ltd for maintenance of existing infrastructure within NHS GGC due to the absence of competition due to technical reasons.
