Tender description

The existing contracts for Contact Centre, Corporate & Mobile Telephony are currently due to expire in June, September & December 2025 respectively. Separate approvals are being sought by the relevant business areas to extend/vary each of these contracts up until June 2026 to ensure all three contracts are co-termed and enable sufficient timescales to assess the market for a suitable joined up solution. This request seeks to initiate an exercise to explore the unified procurement of a combined LCC telephony contract/solution. This would involve stipulating to the market the use of Teams, leveraging maximum value from the Microsoft E5 licence model and telephone element the Council already pay for.

About the buyer

Liverpool City Council procures as a local authority for the city of Liverpool, with its approach set out in a published Sustainable Procurement Strategy. Most tender opportunities are advertised on the Proactis ProContract portal, where suppliers register to bid. Higher-value contracts also appear on the Central Digital Platform's Find a Tender service under the Procurement Act 2023. Frameworks and approved procurement routes run through separate platforms alongside the main portal. Lower-value purchases are usually handled through a direct quotation rather than a full tender. Some health and social care commissioning instead follows the Provider Selection Regime.

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 Liverpool City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and software and information systems.
