Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund has completed a procurement process for a "Corporate Mobile Voice and Data Service 2025," which falls under the Postal and Telecommunications Services category. The contract, valued at £44,060, was awarded to Virgin Media Business Limited and will run from 27th July 2025 to 26th July 2028. The procurement method used was a competitive quotation below the threshold, indicating a limited procurement approach. The service location encompasses a wide area, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and other global regions. The award was officially confirmed on 25th July 2025. The procurement stage has completed with an active award in place.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications sector, particularly those capable of delivering corporate mobile voice and data services. Although the procurement was not specifically open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), similar future tenders could be advantageous for businesses with the infrastructure to support large-scale mobile data needs. Companies that specialise in international operations, given the international roaming element, will find this type of contract particularly beneficial for growth.
