Telecommunications

The tender invites service providers to join a 60‑month Dynamic Purchasing System for telecommunications services, managed by Procurement Assist Ltd and intended for use by iFM Bolton and the broader UK public sector. The system is divided into four distinct categories, covering mobile telecommunications, traditional and IP telephony, connectivity solutions, and comprehensive telecoms packages that combine multiple categories. Applications may be submitted at any time before the DPS closes on 31 May 2029, with the procurement process streamlined through the DPS to avoid further OJEU procedures for clients.

The procurement outlines four specific lots. Lot 1 covers a broad range of services including data, voice, SMS, voicemail, email, device provisioning, tariff planning, design support, ongoing assistance, and consolidated e‑billing. Lot 2 focuses on traditional and IP telephony solutions, encompassing line installation, hardware supply, VoIP services such as ISDN, PSTN, and SIP trunking, as well as maintenance contracts and audio/video system integration. Lot 3 addresses broadband and high‑speed internet provision, offering ethernet, WAN, LAN, VPN connectivity and associated hardware. Lot 4 permits a mix and match of any of the previous categories, providing tailored solutions and advisory support to determine the most suitable configuration for the client.

All required services must include comprehensive data, voice, and messaging provisions, support for the installation and maintenance of telephony and broadband infrastructure, and delivery of consolidated electronic billing.
