Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED procured mobile airtime services for delivery in London, covering mobile telephone connectivity and the associated voice and data service requirement. The procurement was for a call-off contract under the Crown Commercial Service RM6261 framework, Lot 1, Mobile Voice & Data Services Catalogue. It is categorised as a services requirement, with CPV code 64212000 for mobile-telephone services. The buying organisation is BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The requirement is relevant to mobile network operators, telecommunications providers and managed communications businesses able to supply and support mobile voice and data services for an organisational customer in London.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Vodafone Limited was selected as supplier through a call-off from the RM6261 framework, Lot 1 Mobile Voice & Data Services Catalogue. The award was made on 5 August 2026, for £800,000, and covers a contract period from 17 August 2026 to 17 August 2030. The tender’s stated estimated value was also £800,000. The record identifies the arrangement as an alternative procurement method, with the method described as “Other”. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED for a substantial, multi-year mobile voice and data service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide dependable mobile airtime, voice and data connectivity at organisational scale, with the operational capability to support users across London throughout a long-term contract. Experience of public-sector framework call-offs, particularly arrangements covering mobile voice and data services, would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier is a large telecommunications business, indicating that proven network capability, service resilience, account management and capacity to deliver a broad customer requirement are important competitive signals.
