Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council procured services under the Connect, Mobilise and Protect G-Cloud 13 call-off framework contract. The requirement is classified as mobile telephones (CPV 32250000), covering the council’s mobile telephony and related mobilisation and protection needs. Delivery applies across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is Redditch Borough Council, based at Town Hall, Walter Stranz Square, Redditch, Worcestershire. The opportunity is categorised as a service requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It concerns a broad geographic service footprint rather than a single local delivery site.

The procurement has been awarded following a direct award under the G-Cloud 13 call-off framework. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2023 at 23:59. The award was made on 26 September 2023 to TotalMobile Limited, with an awarded value of £272,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2026. The tender is recorded as complete and the award as active. This is a single award to one supplier; no lot structure is recorded. The procurement method was direct award, so the published process does not set out a competitive evaluation basis. The contract covers the same three-year period as the award.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for mobile telephony services delivered across a wide England-wide footprint. A credible competitor for a future requirement with Redditch Borough Council would need to provide mobile telephone services at multi-region scale, support delivery across all listed English regions, and operate through the public-sector G-Cloud call-off route. The award to TotalMobile Limited, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist supplier can be credible for this type of council requirement. Relevant firms are likely to be those with practical capability in mobile communications service delivery, nationwide operational coverage and the capacity to support a council contract over several years. The requirement’s focus is mobile telephony rather than general IT services.
