Telecommunications services

Tender description

Scottish Ministers are seeking to establish a collaborative arrangement for telephony services. Scottish Procurement intends to establish a collaborative arrangement for telephony services. The new arrangement will look to develop and build upon the current collaborative Fixed Telephony Services framework agreement which is due to expire in June 2018. The scope of the new collaborative arrangement is still being developed and there is a potential to have a multi lot arrangement around the following services: 1) Traditional Telephony; 2) IP Telephony (including SIP, VoIP etc); 3) Enterprise/bundled service encompassing a full range of telephony services and potentially including mobile voice & data services as a “one stop shop”; 4) Maintenance of telephony equipment. Consideration is also being given to delivering this arrangement through a dynamic purchasing system (DPS). A key objective of a DPS is to offer a straightforward, flexible and suitable route to market for Scottish public sector organisations and further details on a DPS can found in our procurement journey — https://www.procurementjourney.scot/node/547/.
