Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yeovil College is procuring mobile phone provisions as a goods contract. The requirement covers mobile telephone services, mobile handsets and access to a telecommunications network. Delivery is associated with Yeovil in England and may cover the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The likely users are the college and its staff or other authorised users, although the published scope is framed broadly as mobile phone provisions rather than a detailed list of handsets, tariffs or service features. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers that can provide business mobile phones together with connectivity and supporting telecommunications services, rather than to providers of unrelated IT, fixed-line or general college equipment.

The process reached tender: Yeovil College invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 24 August 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, a period of almost three years. Its estimated value is £72,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The tender uses a single procurement covering the published mobile phone provisions rather than separately identified lots. The procurement category is goods, with mobile telephone services and telecommunications network provision forming part of the technical scope. The opportunity is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers need to submit an offer by the stated deadline and should review the tender requirements for the detailed service, handset and network specification.

This opportunity suits mobile network operators, business telecommunications providers, mobile phone resellers and managed communications suppliers able to combine handsets with network connectivity and ongoing mobile services. Suppliers are likely to benefit from a requirement that brings equipment and communications provision together for an education-sector customer, rather than a standalone handset sale. It is expressly suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers with a credible service model can compete alongside larger telecoms businesses. Well-placed bidders will be those with the operational capability to source and support mobile devices, provide reliable network access across the required territories, manage user accounts or connections, and maintain service delivery throughout the contract. Experience of supplying organisations with business mobile arrangements would be relevant.
