Procurement for Voice Service Infrastructure

This procurement is to provide a central JANET voice service, providing downloadable software 'phone' clients, standards based connectivity, a central register of users and conference bridging facilities. It is envisaged that this will provide a powerful tool for collaboration, offering an increased feature rich environment over more traditional telephony methods.

The Prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) is available electronically below as a Word file and an Adobe PDF file.

As matters for clarification arise they will be answered by JANET(UK) and made available on this page. Suppliers that have registered their intent to submit a proposal will be notified each time this is updated.
