Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), based in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Mobile Data and Minutes 2025 - 2028" contract, under the industry category of mobile-telephone services (CPV code 64212000). This selective procurement was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Vodafone Ltd on 14 February 2025, with the contract period starting on 31 March 2025 and ending on 30 March 2028. Covering a broad geographical scope, the service delivery includes locations such as British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the rest of the world, and the United Kingdom. The entire procurement, valued at approximately £2.6 million, saw its tender process concluding on 17 September 2024.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for large telecommunications companies capable of delivering extensive mobile data and minutes services to diverse geographical areas, including international locales. Although not specifically catering to SMEs or VCSEs, the scale and scope of the service requirements indicate the feasibility for well-established companies, particularly those with a robust infrastructure and market presence like Vodafone Ltd., to leverage this contract to expand their government service portfolios and solidify long-term partnerships with major government bodies such as the DWP.
