The contract concluded its award stage on 10th September 2025, with the active contract commencing on 3rd September 2025, and is set to end on 2nd September 2028. It features a range of telecommunication provisions with Virgin Media Business Limited, including voice and SMS recording, airtime connections, and a hardware fund, and utilises a discounted procurement approach for international roaming passes.
