Rental and Support Costs for 101 and 999 Lines Extended

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has extended the contract for the rental and supports costs for Warwickshire Police's 101 and 999 lines for up to a further 12 months. This is a below threshold contract and is a direct award via an internal exemption process. For transparency the business area raised the purchase order and changed the dates of service prior to seeking approval from our Procurement function hence some discrepancies with previous UK7 notice from last year (ref 2025/S 000-041415). The PO and exemption start from 01 May 2026 however the exemption was retrospectively approved 28 May 2026. Due to being unable to add the date of signing later than commencement of contract this has been inputted on this notice as 01 May 2026. Values are dependent on usage and have been estimated on forecasted spend on call charges. This is a monthly usage agreement, it continues to be an aim to incorporate this provision into a corporate call charges contract within the next 12 months, there are no options to extend.
