In general, a claim for an ineffectiveness order must be made within 10 days of the date on which the VEAT Notice is published in the Find a Tender Service |
| Procurement Method Rationale Classifications › Description | The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive |
| Reason for this procedure | PSTN Analogue services can no longer be procured. To ensure services continue to be provided to the circa 1,500 lines which support telephones, lifts, alarms, traffic lights and other infrastructure currently on an analogue line, we require BT to continue to support, whilst the Council identify which lines require transition to which digital solution, and we cease analogue lines where no longer in use or required. |
