In plain English

The UK government is building a Dynamic Purchasing System (a pre-approved supplier list) for telecommunications services that will be available to public sector organisations across the country for 5 years. They're recruiting service providers now to join this framework in one of four categories: mobile services, traditional/IP phones, connectivity, or a complete telecoms solution.

What the buyer wants

• Provide one or more of the four telecoms services (mobile, traditional/IP telephony, connectivity, or full solution) to public sector organisations across the UK • Comply with the Dynamic Purchasing System rules and respond to call-offs from clients using the framework • Meet any technical and commercial standards required for your chosen category

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a £50 million framework for enterprise-scale telecoms providers, unless you already supply mobile networks, manage national IP telephony infrastructure, or operate connectivity services at scale across multiple regions, you will not be competitive. Solo traders and very small businesses are unlikely to be selected.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
