Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Companies House procured mobile, voice and data services, including the rental and associated charges for mobile phones and Wi-Fi hotspots. The requirement is classified as mobile-telephone services and falls within the services category. Delivery covers Companies House operations across the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as Guernsey and Jersey. The buyer is Companies House, based at Crown Way, Cardiff. This opportunity is relevant to telecommunications providers, mobile network operators and communications resellers able to supply mobile connectivity, voice and data services together with the required devices and hotspot equipment across a geographically dispersed public-sector operation.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Virgin Media Business. The award was made on 19 December 2025 for £40,199.04 including the stated currency, with the contract running from 22 December 2025 to 21 December 2028. The tender submission deadline was 15 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The award is active and the contract covers the full mobile, voice, data, handset-rental and Wi-Fi-hotspot requirement. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Virgin Media Business is the sole named awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a managed mobile communications service combining voice, data, mobile devices and Wi-Fi hotspots. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable telecommunications across all UK nations and the Channel Islands, support a distributed government organisation, and manage both connectivity and rented equipment as one service. Relevant capability includes mobile network access, handset and hotspot supply, charging and account management, service support, and the operational capacity to maintain consistent performance across multiple locations. The framework call-off route is also commercially significant: suppliers seeking comparable work with Companies House would need to understand the applicable framework arrangements and meet their supplier and service requirements.
