Summary of the contracting process

The London Fire Commissioner is embarking on a procurement process for mobile communications services, as detailed in a pipeline notice published on 2025-06-12. This falls under the 'services' procurement category, with the process currently at the planning stage. The procurement will be primarily carried out in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKI region, with a future notice date set for 2025-12-01. The total gross value of the contract is expected to be £3,600,000, covering mobile telephones and related services. Key stakeholders can anticipate the contract period to begin on 2026-01-24 and conclude on 2028-01-23, with the possibility of renewal until 2030-01-23.

The procurement presents a significant opportunity to expand into public sector service provision, particularly with the robust fiscal allocation expected for this endeavour.
