Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-sea Borough Council has completed a contracting process for the provision of mobile telephony, awarded through a call-off from the CCS RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services Framework. Intended for use across various devices including mobile phones, MiFi devices, and tablet devices, the contract involves a service provision of 1309 active SIMs. Covering a significant volume of Voice, SMS, and Data options, the procurement falls under the industry category of mobile telephones and data/voice media. Located in the East of England, the contract was awarded to Vodafone Limited, a large-scale supplier, with the contract period commencing on 1st May 2025 and extending to 30th April 2027. The contract holds a value of £262,457.28 and includes an optional extension of 12 months.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications, particularly those with expertise in providing comprehensive mobile voice and data solutions. Although the contract is currently awarded to Vodafone Limited, businesses equipped to offer similar services might find future opportunities in such frameworks. Companies catering to large-scale mobile connectivity and device management could also benefit from pursuing similar procurements to expand their market reach within public sector contracts. Given the framework nature of the procurement, participating businesses must be capable of meeting selective procurement methods and align with established industry standards to successfully compete in this domain.
