UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dover District Council has awarded a contract for Mobile Voice and Data Services to VODAFONE LIMITED. Categorised under mobile-telephone services (CPV: 64212000), this procurement encompasses the delivery region of UKJ44 (Whitfield, Dover, United Kingdom). The process was completed on 23 December 2025, following a limited competition under a "below threshold" procurement method. The contract, valued at £97,275.60, was signed on 22 December 2025 and is active from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and mobile services, especially those capable of delivering large-scale mobile voice and data services. While the procurement has already been awarded to a large supplier, similar future tenders could cater to diverse business sizes, potentially creating long-term partnerships with sub-central government authorities like Dover District Council. Companies with expertise in CPV mobile-telephone services and a strong regional presence could find significant growth potential in participating in such public sector procurements.
