This contract, valued at £2,000,000, falls under the telecommunications category, specifically the supply of communication and related equipment, and will service the region of North West, United Kingdom. The procurement was carried out through a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Mobile Voice and Data Services (RM6261) framework, specifically Lot 2. The contract was awarded to Virgin Media Business Limited on 30th July 2025 and will run from 1st August 2025 to 31st January 2030, following a selective procurement method that signals a targeted approach, possibly restricted to pre-qualified suppliers.
