Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by SALIX FINANCE LTD, a body governed by public law located in London, concerned a contract titled "Mobile Phones Hardware". The contract falls under the industry category of mobile telephones and is primarily for the supply of company mobile phones for each employee, specifically Samsung A57 devices. This process, classified as a limited procurement method, was executed without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the procurement falling outside the typical directive's scope. The procurement stage is complete, as the contract was awarded on 25th May 2026 to Virgin Media Business, with the entire process concluding shortly thereafter.

This tender creates numerous business opportunities particularly for large-scale businesses capable of directly supplying electronic goods, like mobile telephones, to public sectors or corporations. Companies offering competitive pricing strategies could benefit significantly, given that the award criteria focusses primarily on price. Virgin Media Business, a large supplier based in Reading, has been awarded the contract, indicating that businesses with similar capabilities in mobile technology distribution and high-volume supply chain operations are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Additionally, firms with expertise in navigating direct award frameworks, like RM6261, may find potential for growth within this procurement space.
