## Summary

National Records of Scotland bought telephone connectivity services to move five existing PSTN lines to SoADSL, with ongoing service provision, support and maintenance. The requirement covers the migration and the continuing operation of all five lines, rather than a wider network installation. The services are for National Records of Scotland, based in Edinburgh, and delivery is in Edinburgh. This is a small, defined connectivity requirement for suppliers able to migrate legacy PSTN lines to SoADSL and support them afterwards.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Wavenet Ltd. The authority used a direct award under the Crown Commercial Service Network Services 3 framework, without a separate competition, because the framework permits call-off awards where one supplier can meet the requirement under its direct award method. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026, with an awarded value of £7,965. The service term is three years, covering migration of five lines and their ongoing connectivity, support and maintenance. The requirement was handled as a single lot; no separate evaluation scoring criteria are stated.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future connectivity requirements, the award demonstrates demand for targeted migration from PSTN to SoADSL alongside a managed service, rather than a large-scale network deployment. Credible competitors would need to show they can migrate existing telephone lines with minimal disruption and provide reliable ongoing connectivity, support and maintenance across the service term. The use of a Crown Commercial Service framework and direct award route is commercially relevant: suppliers would need to be appointed to an appropriate framework and able to meet the buyer’s requirement under its direct award methodology. The recorded outcome was a single bid, from a non-SME supplier, suggesting that framework access and the ability to deliver a small, specialised service are central considerations.

### Procurement Information

The contract was awarded by direct award under the Crown Commercial Services Network Services 3 Framework (RM6116).
