Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), based in London, has successfully concluded a procurement process titled "Mobiles Voice and Data" under the industry category of radio, television, communication, telecommunication, and related equipment. This contract, worth £546,967, is crucial for ensuring robust and reliable voice and data connectivity across England and Wales, particularly in locations lacking Wi-Fi or CPS network access. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The award stage of this process was completed with Vodafone Limited being the supplier, with a contract period starting on 1st July 2025 and ending on 30th June 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mobile communications services, particularly those capable of providing reliable 5G connectivity across a wide geographic area. Firms able to handle extensive service demands across diverse locations would find this procurement particularly attractive. Although this specific contract has been awarded to a large supplier, Vodafone Limited, the framework agreement suggests potential future opportunities for businesses of varying scales familiar with the requirements of public sector contracts, looking to expand their portfolios within the telecommunications sector.

Notice Title

Mobiles Voice and Data

Notice Description

The CPS have offices and staff who work at various locations across the whole of England and Wales. Therefore, voice and data connectivity must be reliable and robust across the Authority's area of operation, and be 5G compliant (in places where 5G signal is available). While the CPS is not classed as an emergency service the work that is undertaken is often time sensitive and critical within the justice system. The expectation is that reliable and robust connection will be available continually. Access to mobile voice and data services are required to CPS staff work effectively in courts and locations where there is no Wi-Fi or CPS network access available. It is also a backup in case of network unavailability for CPS Direct, Failure to provide these services would have reputational impact and could result in some courts being seen as inferior to prosecute cases in due to the lack of online access.
