Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has established a framework agreement for mobile voice and data services, including hardware and ancillary services such as telecommunications audits, health checks, and professional services, in support of the UK public sector, their associated bodies, agencies, and other organisations acting on their behalf. This agreement, titled "Mobile Voice and Data Services" (RM6261), will be used for the provision and procurement of these services. Initially published on 11 August 2022, the tender process utilised an open procedure above the threshold, with the contract period beginning on 13 December 2022 and ending on 12 December 2026, following an optional extension. The framework aims to provide compliant routes for market procurement, achieve best value by leveraging public sector spend, and improve the purchase of mobile voice and data services across the sector. The procurement is categorized under services and classified under several CPV codes including SIM cards, telecommunications services, and consultancy services. The framework was awarded to multiple suppliers, including both large companies and SMEs, which indicates its suitability for various types of businesses.

SMEs can compete effectively, as the structure accommodates their participation. Companies specializing in telecommunications consultancy, systems and technical consultancy services, security software development, and auditing services will find this framework advantageous for increasing their market access and enhancing their service offerings to the public sector. The inclusion of high-value contracts also provides substantial revenue opportunities for businesses looking to expand within the public sector market.
