Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "International Mobile Roaming Research" was initiated by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) to investigate the international mobile roaming markets between the UK and select countries: the US, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The project has been classified under research services and was conducted under a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 16 January 2020, while the contract was awarded on 29 January 2020, with a total value of £99,950. The contract itself commenced on 4 February 2020 and is scheduled to end on 27 March 2020, with the delivery set in London, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those operating within the telecoms industry, including mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) that can leverage insights from international roaming data. Enterprises with expertise in market research, economic analysis, or telecoms consulting would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders, as the work involves estimating trade values, assessing wholesale pricing, and analysing telecom services. Participation in projects like this can help businesses expand their portfolios and establish stronger connections within both domestic and international markets.

Notice Information

Notice Title

International Mobile Roaming Research

Notice Description

DCMS would like to investigate the International Mobile Roaming (Roaming) markets, between the UK and the US, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The project aim is to estimate the trade value of international mobile roaming between the UK and specific countries across the rest of the world (the US, Australia, New Zealand and Japan), specifically on a wholesale level. This includes identifying the economic costs and benefits of international mobile roaming to telecoms businesses (MNOs, MVNOs) both in the UK and its partner countries. The information gathered will strengthen the evidence base on the topic of international mobile roaming and through this will inform policy development. To achieve this, the project aims at collecting the estimated level of core telecoms services roaming traffic (voice, SMS, data) between countries, and the wholesale prices and costs of providing these services.
