What happened

The Education Training Collective awarded this contract to Chess ICT worth £256,379 on 6 Oct 2026. The contract runs until 30 Sept 2029.

Description

This is a revised version of the tender ETCP-2026-0038.

Following evaluation of the tender responses, it has become apparent that the original Teams Telephony specification requires significant revision to ensure that the proposed solution meets the College’s operational and user requirements.

The original specification identified 350 direct dial users and was primarily focused on users requiring dedicated telephony functionality. Further consideration during the evaluation process has identified a requirement to extend Teams telephony functionality to a wider user base, with approximately 700 users requiring access to telephony functionality.

Due to this change and increased scope we felt the appropriate action was to terminate the previous tender and launch a revised version, this tender is the revised version.
