Rental & support costs for 101 and 999 lines

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has awarded a contract for Warwickshire Police's rental and support costs for 101 and 999 lines. This is a below threshold contract that following an internal exemption process has been awarded to the incumbent provider due to the nature of the requirement. This provision was previously within the telephony network maintenance contract but was not included in the most recent maintenance contract therefore this separate provision and notice. This is likely to be incorporated into a corporate call charges provision going forward. This arrangement is for 12 months with no option to extend and the estimated cost including VAT is £44,400.
