Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council has successfully completed a tender for the procurement of 290 Samsung Galaxy A26 5G smartphones. This contract, identified by OCC001028, was awarded through an open competition, specifically below the threshold procurement. It falls under the goods category, with the legal basis secured under the UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement process began with a tender notice on 29th May 2026, and culminated in an award on 30th June 2026, followed by the contract commencement on 12th July 2026. The contract is set to run for a single day, with the goods being delivered to the South East region, specifically Oxford, UKJ14.

Companies equipped to meet the demands of high-volume mobile phone procurement would find this process advantageous, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like BDR Technical Solutions Ltd, who secured the contract. The tender's procurement approach, favouring an open and competitive process, allows businesses to demonstrate their value and efficiency, offering the potential for future contracts with public authorities such as sub-central government entities.
