AWARD OF FIXED TELEPHONY LINES AND CALLS CONTRACT

Decision Maker: Managing Director

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To award Daisy Ltd a two year contract for the provision of fixed telephony lines and calls via a direct award on the Crown Commissioning Service Framework RM 1045 Lot 3. The estimated two year cost, based on historical call volumes, is £46,280.

Reasons for the decision:

Proposals were requested from three providers, including tyhe incumbent and the proposal from Daisy demonstrated the lowest cost. The new contract will realise projected savings of £5,140 over the two year term of the contract.

Alternative options considered:

Full tender, this was not pursued on the advice of the Shared Procurement unit. Their advice was based on the nature of this "utility" market where cost variance was marginal. Also given the total contract this fell well below the value requiring this to be "Key Decision".
