This contract was carried out under the Crown Commercial Service Framework (ref. RM6261, Lot 1), within the industry category of mobile-telephone services and electronic message and information services. The procurement was set in the South East region of the United Kingdom with key tender end date on 30th June 2025, and the award decision made on 1st July 2025. The contract period is scheduled from 30th August 2025 to 30th August 2028, and it follows a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The project's financial value is indicated at £101,205 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand within the telecommunications industry, as it involves substantial service provision over a three-year period. The procurement process emphasised suitability for SMEs, which can leverage this framework agreement for expansion in both mobile telecommunications and electronic messaging services.
