Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract for the "Provision of Mobile Voice & Data Services" has been completed with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire Police, Cambridgeshire Constabulary, and Hertfordshire Constabulary (BCH) as the buying organisation. This tender falls under the services industry category and the location of service delivery is specified as East Midlands, United Kingdom. The awarding of the contract, valued at £1,499,295, happened on 9th July 2026, and the contract will run from 26th July 2026 to 25th July 2031. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating that the competition was limited among pre-selected suppliers. The Headquarters for the buying organisation is located at Harpenden Police Station, Hertfordshire, and the contact person is Robin Rajan.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in network and telecommunications services. Due to the selective procurement method, firms already in the BCH framework or those able to partner with those within the framework would be well-suited to engage in this and future tenders. Businesses specialising in providing comprehensive mobile voice and data services can leverage such contracts to foster long-term relationships with law enforcement agencies, thus ensuring stable revenue streams over an extended period. As the project's scope includes large-scale network server provisions, companies with proven expertise in similar service contracts are encouraged to participate actively in similar future opportunities.
