The Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, based in Sunderland, England, has completed the awarding stage of a public procurement contract for the provision of Mobile Voice and Data Services. This project falls under the telecommunications industry category and has been awarded to British Telecom. The procurement process utilised a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

The total contract value is £26,668, and the contract award was published on 15th September 2025.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies in the telecommunications sector that specialise in providing mobile voice and data services. While the contract was awarded to a large-scale supplier, smaller businesses may find potential future opportunities by partnering or subcontracting with major telecommunications firms on similar projects. Networking with such organisations and adopting innovative telecom solutions could position smaller enterprises for expansion and growth in public sector engagements.
