RM6116 Network Services - Fixed Line Services
Descriptions
You are invited to tender for the provision of Internet services and associated telephony circuits for Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC). The majority of CBC's current fixed-line internet services are procured under a framework agreement set to expire at the end of June 2026. In light of the contract expiration and the discontinuation of PSTN services, CBC is inviting tenders for this provision, with a proposed contract term of three years, plus two optional 12-month extension periods at CBC's sole discretion.
Additional services may be added during the contract term at the same commercial rates, with a co-terminus end date. CBC requires the flexibility to modify the services annually by removing certain services (by value) in response to changing requirements, such as site closures.
It is essential to identify the most cost-effective solution that maintains or improves upon the current level of telecommunications services to all sites.
Provision of reliable service, accurate billing, and effective account management are critical requirements.
The Council will provide as much support and information as it can to help guide you through the quotation process. Questions asked together with the response, will be made available to all tenderers, to ensure a fair and consistent approach to all.
If there is anything you are not sure about or need clarification on, please use the Correspondence facility within the In-tend electronic tendering system. Last date for receiving questions on the In-Tend system: Wednesday 22nd October 2025 - 5pm
