Tender description
We currently have around 200 circuits with BT for Traditional Telephony. These are circuits which utilise the Public Switched Telephony Network (PSTN), which runs over copper cabling. BT like all other providers are removing the PSTN by December 2025, and in a lot of cases sooner. All these services are now Stop Sell and we are unable to move them to another provider. We are working with the business to remove our reliance on the PSTN but this will take time to migrate systems over to GSM or other suitable technology.

About the buyer
Bristol City Council is a local authority that runs its own Procurement and Contract Management Service. Larger contracts are commissioned through ProContract, the council's Due North e-tendering portal, where suppliers register for alerts. High-value opportunities also appear on Find a Tender, and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts. Frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems and awarded contracts are listed on the council's e-procurement contracts register. A commercial pipeline gives a forward look at anticipated outsourcing over the next twelve months. Adult social care is commissioned by the Adult Care Commissioning team, largely through a single commissioning framework.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Bristol City Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
