UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has recently completed a procurement process for mobile services designed to support the UK mission in Geneva. The tender, titled "Mobile Services for the UK Mission in Geneva," falls under the services category and was initiated through a limited procurement method. Swisscom AG has been awarded the contract, which is set to commence on 1st July 2026 and run through 30th June 2028, with a potential extension of 24 months if needed. The procurement was valued at £288,822.13 gross, with the procurement process having reached the award stage by 30th June 2026. The central government authority based in London managed the process, which was classified under a light touch regime.

This tender presents key opportunities for businesses engaged in providing mobile telephone services and related telecommunications solutions, especially those adept at serving public sector needs and international missions. Companies with the capability to deliver seamless and reliable SIM card provisioning and telecommunications services will find potential for significant growth. Given the limited competition nature of this procurement, businesses that can demonstrate compliance with central government requirements alongside high service standards are well-positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities. This scenario underscores the importance of maintaining readiness to engage with government contracts for sustained business expansion.
