OGCbuying.solutions, the
procurement arm of the Office of Government Commerce, has signed a
£105m telecoms contract extension with Global
Crossing.
The Managed Telecommunication Service (Mts)
contract started with Global Crossing in 1996,
and the latest extension brings the service provision up to
December 2011.
The new contract continues to provide managed telephony and data
network services, but also includes a new portfolio of hosted IP
telephony and mobile working services for UK government
departments.
The Mts service currently supports more than 125,000 users
across 90 UK public sector organisations, but is available to be
used by any public sector organisation across central and local
government, as well as education, health and criminal justice.
The contract includes technology provided by Global Crossing’s
partner Siemens Enterprise Communications.
As part of Mts, Global Crossing manages more than 125,000
telephone extensions, 650 PBXs and 200 on-site IP routers, and
switches more than 20m voice call minutes a month.
